Rudimentary drones launched by Afghan Taliban intercepted: ISPR

RAWALPINDI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 14th Mar, 2026) Afghan Taliban launched a few rudimentary drones in an attempt to create fear in the people of Pakistan, however the drones failed to reach their intended targets after they were intercepted through both "soft and hard kill measures".

Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) in a statement said the debris from these drones injured two children in Quetta and a civilian each in Kohat and Rawalpindi.

“These attacks were aimed at inducing fear in the public and remind us of the terrorist mindset which drives the Afghan Taliban. On one hand, the Afghan Taliban project victimhood to garner global sympathy while on the other hand, they actively target civilians through their terrorist proxies and drones,” the statement said.

The ISPR said Pakistan’s people and its armed forces were absolutely clear about the true nature and intentions of the terrorist militia-for-hire that was currently ruling Afghanistan.

“Pakistan’s Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq shall continue till the Afghan Taliban address Pakistan’s core concern with respect to terrorism originating from Afghan soil. Pakistan’s Armed Forces stand steadfast in the fight against terrorism and its manifestations, like the drone attacks by Afghan Taliban. We shall keep defending the people of Pakistan against terrorists and their facilitators and shall not flinch in the face of such provocations by the Afghan Taliban,” the statement said.
