Pakistan Air Defence Neutralizes Four Afghan Taliban Drones in Balochistan Under Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq

On June 30, the Afghan Taliban regime launched four rudimentary drones across the border into Balochistan, in what Pakistani authorities described as an act of patronage toward terrorist outfits operating from Taliban-controlled territories.

Pakistan’s air defence network immediately detected the hostile aerial platforms. Security forces, demonstrating high operational readiness, successfully eliminated all four incoming drones using sophisticated countermeasures, effectively thwarting what officials termed “malicious attempts” against Pakistani sovereignty.

Pakistani military officials stated that such actions by the Afghan Taliban are designed to distract the Afghan population from the hardships they face under Taliban rule. In a strongly worded warning, Pakistan urged the Taliban to “eschew sponsorship of terrorism and adhere to the principle of peaceful coexistence” rather than resorting to “hollow rhetoric” and cross-border provocations.

Pakistan Armed Forces reaffirmed their commitment to defending national sovereignty, stating that any cross-border aggression endangering Pakistani citizens would be met with “swift, decisive, and overwhelming responses” under Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq. Officials cautioned that continued provocations by the Afghan Taliban “would cost them heavily.”
