Pakistan’s armed forces have taken down 25 Israeli-made Harop drones that have been sent to the country since last night, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has said.

“The Pakistan armed forces, using their soft-kill (technical) and hard-kill (weaponised) skills fully, have shot down 25 Israeli-made Harop drones sent by India,” the military said.

It said India was “panicked by the elimination of its five modern jets, several drones and soldier deaths” caused by Pakistan’s response to its airstrikes on May 6.
