Remote-Controlled Drones Used to Bomb Pakistan Border Police for the First Time

On July 29, 2026, attackers flew small remote-controlled drones carrying explosives into the Khazana police post near Pakistan's Afghan border, then stormed it on foot. Officials say 11 officers died and 15 attackers were killed. No group has claimed responsibility. The tactic — bombing by drone before a ground raid — has never been seen in the region's fighting before.
