The Army of Pakistan reported the interception of 12 shock unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) HAROP from the night of May 7. This was announced by the General Director of the Public Relations Department of Pakistan, Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudri.
Chaudri noted that the launch of Harop UAVs from India was carried out in the direction of “many points” in Pakistan, which, according to him, is “another egregious act of military aggression.”
The Pakistani Army is in a state of “increased combat readiness”, at the moment 12 Harop Indian UAVs are neutralized, he said.
Assignment of the conflict after the Indian missile strikes
India on May 6 struck missile strikes on the territory of Pakistan, including Azad Kashmir, located under Pakistani control.
The attack was a response to a terrorist attack, which occurred on April 22 in the Indian district of Pakhalgam, as a result of which 26 people were killed.
According to the Indian side, nine goals that she described as “terrorist objects” were successfully affected. However, the Pakistani authorities claim that the attacks were on six civilian facilities, as a result of which eight people died, including a child, 35 were injured, two more are missing.
The Pakistani Army announced the confusion of five Indian fighters during the attack, but in New Delhi refuted this information.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers, announced the military operation “Sindur” and described it as a “moment of pride”. Sindur is a red powder, which is applied with married Indian women along the parting and in the form of a point on the forehead.
