Pakistan army shot down at least 25 Israeli-manufactured Harop drones following a series of provocative attacks by India.

"Pakistan Armed forces have so far shot down 25 Harop drones using both soft-kill (technical) and hard-kill (weapons-based) systems," said a statement issued by the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Thursday.

It said that the escalation follows India’s cowardly assault on May 6 and May 7, "which resulted in the destruction of five advanced aircraft, drones, multiple military posts, and reported casualties among Indian troops".
