Pakistan shot down two drones in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting said on Friday, adding that the incidents caused only minor damage and no military or civilian infrastructure was targeted.

In a statement, the ministry said Pakistani forces intercepted and brought down two “minor drones” linked to Fitna al-Khawarij using electronic countermeasures.

The drones were tracked and neutralised before they could cause significant harm, it said, adding that the only damage reported was minor and resulted from debris falling after the drones were shot down.

“No military or other infrastructure in Pakistan was targeted,” the ministry said, stressing that the situation remained under control.

The government also rejected allegations circulating from accounts associated with the Taliban government in Afghanistan, calling them baseless and lacking any verifiable evidence.

According to the ministry, official Taliban-linked accounts, including a so-called defence ministry account, are known for spreading false information and propaganda.

It referred to recent “frivolous claims” that aircraft of the Pakistan Air Force had been shot down and pilots captured. The ministry said those claims were later deleted by the same accounts.

“The Taliban regime’s allegations have no credibility,” the statement said, adding that the group’s so-called defence ministry was “notorious for disseminating fake news”.

The ministry further said that the Taliban regime is supporting and facilitating India-backed terrorist groups Fitna al-Khawarij and Fitna al-Hindustan.

Authorities reiterated that both drones were successfully intercepted through electronic countermeasures and that no strategic installations or civilian infrastructure had been damaged.
