Amid the Pakistan army’s continuous targeting of civilian infrastructure in India, a Turkish Kamikaze drone was recovered in a village in Naushera area of Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday (May 10).
According to an Indian official, Pakistan attempted drone intrusions at many locations of India’s western border, and these drones were possibly of Turkish origin, likely to test Indian air defences.
Meanwhile, Byker YIHA III Kamikaze drones were recovered in Punjab’s Amritsar, which were launched by Pakistan in the early hours of Saturday, as per defence officials.
The attacks were launched in several civilian areas of the region, leaving their lives endangered. The attempt was thwarted by the Indian Army Air Defence guns at 5 am as the drones were destroyed in the air itself, as per the defence officials.

The Indian Armed Forces’ precision strikes on nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) on May 7’s Operation Sindoor resulted in the elimination of high-profile terrorists affiliated with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), including Maulana Yusuf Azhar, wanted for the IC-814 hijacking, sources told ANI.
According to sources, targets also included key figures involved in radical indoctrination, weapons training, and the coordination of terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir.
Details from the source further revealed that the funeral sessions of some of the targets were also attended by top officials in the Pakistani Army, Police as well as the government, which exhibits Pakistan’s false claims of not nurturing terrorist hideouts in the country.
