Drones Used in First-Ever Attack on Pakistan Border Police Post, Killing 11

Attackers used explosive-laden quadcopter drones before a ground assault on the Khazana police post in Hangu district, near Pakistan's Afghan border, on July 29, 2026. Authorities say 11 officers, including a deputy superintendent, died; police reported 15 attackers dead. No group has claimed responsibility. The drone-then-ground tactic has no precedent in the region's insurgency.
