Sources said on Friday that two drones had been intercepted in Islamabad.
Sources said that one of the drones fell near Faizabad and the other in Islamabad’s I-9 sector. They added that the drones were explosive-laden.
Sources said that the drones had possibly been launched from Afghanistan.
Earlier, the Pakistan Airports Authority said in a post on X — that has since been deleted — that flight operations at Islamabad International Airport experienced a “brief operational adjustment”.
In a later statement, the authority said that any news about the closure of the Islamabad International Airport was “baseless”.
It said that flight operations were continuing as usual without interruption and all flights were operating as per their schedule. It urged the public not to pay attention to unverified and false news and to trust official sources.
