\u201cAfter the destruction of its five modern jets, drones and several posts, as well as soldier deaths, India is attacking Pakistan using these Israeli-made Harop drones in panic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis cowardly attack is a sign of India\u2019s worry and panic,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe debris of these Israeli-made Harop drones is being collected from various locations across Pakistan,\u201d the military\u2019s media wing said.

He also stated that four army personnel were injured as one drone, besides those downed, managed to engage a military target partially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ISPR DG detailed the locations where 12 of those drones sent by India were neutralised \u2014 Lahore, Attock, Gujranwala, Chakwal, Rawalpindi and Bahawalpur in Punjab, as well as Sukkur\u2019s Miano, Umerkot\u2019s Chhor and near Karachi in Sindh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOther than these 12, one drone, however, managed to engage a military target near Lahore partially,\u201d Lt Gen Chaudhry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFour men of the Pakistan Army have been injured in this attack near Lahore and partial damage to an equipment has occurred,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DG ISPR further said that as a result of India\u2019s drone activity, one civilian embraced martyrdom and another was injured in Miano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DJYtSVDKTFa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DJYtSVDKTFa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DJYtSVDKTFa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View this post on Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DJYtSVDKTFa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>During the press briefing, the military\u2019s media spokesman also showed a series of pictures showing the debris of the drones.
