Here’re guidelines to reduce risk from drone attacks

ISLAMABAD: As the situation gets tense after India’s drone attacks on Pakistan last night, the officials have shared several guidelines to survive a drone attack, especially in conflict zones.

The Harop is a dangerous drone made by Israel. It acts like both a drone and a missile. It can fly for hours before crashing into its target. India bought these drones in 2009 for $100 million.

How to Survive a Drone Attack

Officials shared these safety tips:

1. Listen for Buzzing Sounds

   • Drones make a loud humming noise. If you hear it, take cover immediately.

2. Stay Informed

   • Follow trusted news sources for attack warnings.

3. Avoid High-Risk Areas

   • Stay away from military bases, government buildings, or places with armed forces.

4. Hide in Safe Places

   • Go indoors, preferably in basements or concrete shelters. Avoid rooftops and open areas.

5. Change Your Routine

   • Drones track movement patterns. Change your travel routes and times often.

6. Reduce Phone Use

   • Drones can detect phone signals. Turn off GPS and limit mobile use.

7. Evacuate If Possible

   • If your area is under frequent attacks, move to a safer location temporarily.
