Reports have emerged of another Indian drone attack in the sensitive area of Gulshan-e-Hadeed in Karachi, after which security forces cordoned off the area and launched an investigation.
Prior to this incident, the downing of an Indian drone in Sharafi Goth, Malir, Karachi had also been confirmed.
A video circulating on social media shows that the drone, brought down by Pakistani forces on Gulshan-e-Hadeed’s Link Road, is now in the possession of a local child.

A large contingent of police arrived at the scene and secured the metallic debris of the drone. No casualties have been reported as a result of the drone’s destruction in the area.
According to sources, the Pakistan Army and air defense systems responded in a timely manner and targeted the enemy drone in mid-air. Residents of Malir and Gulshan-e-Hadeed confirmed hearing loud explosions and sirens, which led to an atmosphere of fear and panic.
Sources also stated that the Pakistani Armed Forces, particularly units stationed in the Karachi region, have been put on high alert, and additional aerial surveillance is being conducted in various areas of the city.
Security agencies stated that the purpose of these actions is to intimidate civilian populations and undermine national security; however, every move will be met with a strong and effective response.
This latest act of Indian aggression comes shortly after ISPR confirmed that India had sent 12 drones into various Pakistani cities, which were targeted in Lahore, Karachi, Gujranwala, Mianwali, Bahawalpur, Chhor, and Chakwal.
The public has been urged not to pay attention to rumors, to immediately report any suspicious activity to nearby security agencies, and to demonstrate national unity.
