Security forces have destroyed 77 Indian drones in several cities of Pakistan amid mounting tensions between the neighbouring countries.
Security sources said 29 Indian drones had been shot down by the evening of May 8, adding that an additional 48 drones were destroyed since Thursday night.
Security sources confirmed that the Pakistan Army was giving a strong response to the enemy’s aggression. In the latest response, one drone was destroyed in Vehari, one in Pakpattan, and four drones were downed in Okara.
The ISPR DG, in a statement, said all drones were continuously monitored on radar, adding that whenever a drone approaches, it is constantly tracked.
“Our air defense system has the capability to track even small drones,” the military spokesperson said.
The ISPR chief said an operational procedure was followed for shooting down drones in the civilian areas and in the presence of commercial flights.
Meanwhile, defence experts said Pakistan’s air defence system was continuously thwarting enemy attacks.
Tracking of each drone clearly showed that Pakistan’s defence and air defence systems were extremely strong, they said.
