Pakistan’s military says its air defense system intercepted and destroyed four homemade drones that allegedly crossed into Balochistan from Afghanistan, accusing the Afghan Taliban of supporting militant activity along the border.
Pakistan’s military has claimed that its air defense system intercepted and destroyed four homemade drones allegedly launched from Afghanistan into Balochistan, marking a fresh escalation in border tensions between the two neighboring countries.
According to the military’s media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the incident occurred on June 30 when four improvised drones crossed the border into Pakistan. The statement said the country’s air defense network detected the aerial objects in time, allowing security forces to successfully neutralize all four drones before they could cause any damage.
The ISPR alleged that the incident reflects continued support for militant organizations operating from areas under the control of the Afghan Taliban. It further claimed that Pakistan’s security forces demonstrated advanced operational and technical capabilities by preventing any potential threat through a rapid response.
In its statement, the military also criticized the Afghan Taliban, alleging that such actions are intended to mislead the Afghan public despite the country’s ongoing internal challenges. It argued that irresponsible policies and actions by the Taliban leadership are worsening the difficulties faced by the Afghan people.
