Pakistan launched an aggressive operation involving Turkish drones targeting Indian military facilities, risking civilian safety by keeping its airspace open, officials reported on Friday.

Colonel Sofiya Qureshi of the army and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh from the air force disclosed that India intercepted most drones through kinetic and non-kinetic defense measures.

The skirmish reached a critical stage when Pakistani forces allegedly used civil airliners as protective cover, knowing it would compel India to respond aggressively. India retaliated with drone strikes targeting Pakistani air defense sites.
