Pakistan Says It Shot Down 12 Indian Drones in Major Escalation

The Vocal News: Something very serious happened between India and Pakistan again.

On Wednesday night, Pakistan said it saw 12 Indian drones flying over different parts of its country. Drones are small flying machines that can carry cameras or even bombs. Pakistan says these were dangerous drones and called them “a big problem.”

What Did Pakistan Do?

A top army officer from Pakistan, Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, said that the Pakistan army shot down all 12 drones. These drones were flying over cities like Rawalpindi, Lahore, and Karachi.

One of the drones hit a military area near Lahore, and four soldiers got hurt.

In another part of Pakistan, a normal person (civilian) was killed, and another one was hurt by a drone.

What Are These Drones?

These drones are called Harop drones. They are like flying bombs. Someone from far away can control them, and they are built to find and destroy targets. These drones are made in Israel.

Pakistan said these drones came from India and were used to attack their land.

What Is India Saying?

So far, India has not said anything about this. News reporters have asked India's army for answers, but there’s no official response yet.

Why Are India and Pakistan Fighting?

Recently, India attacked some places in Pakistan because of a terror attack in Kashmir. India believes Pakistan-based groups were behind that attack.

Now Pakistan is saying that India is trying to attack back using drones. This is making things even more dangerous between the two countries.

What Happens Now?

The Pakistan army is on high alert, which means they are very careful and ready in case something else happens. Other countries in the world are watching and asking both India and Pakistan to stay calm and solve the fight with peace, not war.
