2 rudimentary drones intercepted, brought down at different locations adjacent to Pindi: protection sources
ISLAMABAD: Protection sources stated on Friday that two rudimentary drones were intercepted at different locations adjacent to Rawalpindi but were successfully brought down through electronic countermeasures.
Protection sources stated that no damage or victims were documented and the airspace, which was temporarily closed as a precaution, had now been reopened.
Earlier, the Pakistan Airports Body stated in a post on X — that has since been deleted — that flight operations at Islamabad Global Airport experienced a “short report operational adjustment”.
The comment had come after multiple press outlets documented that Islamabad Global Airport had been closed for flights.
In a later comment, however, the body stated that reports circulating about the closure of Islamabad’s airspace were “baseless”.
“Flight operations at Islamabad Global Airport are continuing without interruption and all flights are operating according to schedule,” it stated.
