DG ISPR has said India used drones to violate Pakistani airspace and intimidate civilians by spreading fear. “All through Operation Bunyan um Marsoos, dozens of Pakistani armed drones hovered over major Indian cities and sensitive political and government facilities including their capital New Delhi,” he stated.

“From occupied Kashmir all the way up to Gujrat, to manifest clearly our lethal long-range, unmanned capability to indicate the futility of the use of this domain in warfare,” he said.

The military’s spokesperson added that Pakistan’s armed forces also carried out a “comprehensive and effective cyber-offensive to temporarily cripple and degrade critical infrastructure and services that were being used to by Indian armed forces to sustain their operations”.
