Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) confirms in a press release on Thursday that Pakistan’s forces had successfully intercepted and destroyed 25 Israeli-manufactured drones deployed by India in a coordinated attack attempt targeting multiple locations across the country.

The press release issued by Pakistan’s Army media wing states:

“The Pakistan Armed Forces have so far shot down 25 Israeli-made Harop drones using both soft-kill (technical) and hard-kill (weaponry) systems.

Following India’s cowardly attack on the night of May 6-7, which resulted in the destruction of five advanced fighter jets, drones, multiple military posts, and soldier casualties, India, in a state of panic, has been attempting attacks on Pakistan using these Israeli-manufactured Harop drones.

This cowardly move reflects India’s desperation and confusion.

India has also suffered heavy losses along the Line of Control and continues to face setbacks there.

Debris of the Israeli-made Harop drones is being recovered from various locations across Pakistan.“

DG ISPR’s press conference on Thursday afternoon

Earlier, DG ISPR had confirmed in a press conference on the same day that the Pakistan Army shot down at least 12 Indian drones in different parts of the country, with at least one of them reaching a target in Lahore and injuring four military officers.

One drone explosion in Sindh killed a Pakistani citizen.

At a press conference on Thursday noon, Lt. Gen Sharif confirmed that India launched a provocative drone attack on the night of May 7–8, violating Pakistan’s airspace in what is being described as an act of aggression.

Lt. Gen Sharif said the Pakistan Armed Forces successfully neutralized 12 hostile drones in various regions including Lahore, Gujranwala, Chakwal, Rawalpindi, Attock, Bahawalpur, Miano, Chhor (Sindh), and Karachi.

The military spokesperson described it “yet another blatant military act of aggression against Pakistan by sending Harop drones at multiple locations”.

“This naked aggression continues, and the armed forces are on high degree of alert and neutralising them as we speak,” he said.

Debris from the downed drones has been recovered from multiple locations, indicating the widespread nature of the incursion. One drone was intercepted through a direct military strike.

According to the DG-ISPR, the attack caused partial damage to military equipment and left four individuals injured in Lahore. In another incident, one civilian was injured while another lost their life, in Miano, Sindh, further highlighting the toll on innocent lives.

“The Indian military’s unprovoked actions reflect a dangerous pattern of escalation,” said Gen. Sharif, adding that such acts, including attacks on civilians and elderly women, show that “India has apparently lost its plot.”

He emphasized that the Pakistan Armed Forces remain on high alert and are fully prepared to defend the nation against further aggression.

He concluded by urging the international community to take serious note of India’s destabilising behaviour in an already tense regional climate, while reaffirming that updates will follow as the situation develops.
