PESHAWAR - To counter the increasing threat of drone attacks by terrorists, protective nets have been installed at several police stations and checkposts throughout Peshawar and other areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, officials announced on Monday. These security measures have reportedly thwarted two drone attacks aimed at the Matani police station.
Terrorists have been targeting police facilities in Peshawar and other districts using quadcopters and drones in recent months. A drone attack on a house in Hassankhel tragically killed a woman and injured multiple individuals in September. Additionally, a quadcopter attack on a police checkpost at Tarnab Farm, located between Chamkani and Matani police stations, left several people injured recently.
Police officials explained that these nets are designed to prevent drones and quadcopters from targeting police facilities, thereby safeguarding personnel and buildings. The protective measures were detailed in an article published in Dawn on September 15th, 2026.
