Former senior Pakistani military officer Adil Raja dismissed claims by Pakistani authorities that an Afghan drone was shot down, calling them baseless. He questioned how a fully loaded drone could be intercepted by fighter jets over a city without causing any damage.
Raja also pointed out that these claims surfaced despite no reports of anti-aircraft or air defense fire in Islamabad at the time.
He concluded that Afghanistan effectively retaliated for the incidents in Kandahar and Kabul, striking key targets in Kohat and Islamabad.
