Pakistan told the UN Security Council on Wednesday that it would respond to terrorist threats emanating from Afghanistan in self-defence as and when needed and in accordance with international law.

The assertion by Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Asim Iftikhar Ahmad came during a Security Council meeting on the situation in Afghanistan five years after the Taliban’s takeover of Kabul.

An eye on Balochistan border

The situation along the Pakistan-Iran border in the broader conflict has been largely overlooked.

THE intensifying Yemeni Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia have triggered a debate over the possible activation of the Makkah accord. Statements and clarifications about possible and emerging scenarios are coming from all stakeholders.

But a recent incident in Saravan county in Sistan-Baluchestan, close to the Pakistan border, has also drawn attention to the Iran-Pakistan border region. This has broadened the debate over the Gulf region’s security and evolving geopolitics, and Pakistan’s role in it.

The incident was reported on Sept 12, when heavy fighting between Iranian security forces and unidentified gunmen spread across parts of Saravan, with reports of attacks on military vehicles and dozens of security personnel killed or wounded. Although the identity of the armed group is not yet clear, some analysts have attributed the attack to Jaish al-Adl or the People’s Fighters Front, an alliance of several groups, reportedly including Jaish al-Adl.

How Two-Way Drone Warfare Is Shaping Pakistan’s Counter-Insurgency (COIN) Efforts - Quwa

The restiveness of Pakistan's Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) provinces has long been a persistent condition, one which the centre has, especially in recent years, been trying to bring under control through a series of counterinsurgency (COIN) campaigns. Historically, Pakistan's COIN...

Historically, Pakistan’s COIN efforts would involve the Pakistan Army’s conventionally oriented, standing forces on one end, facing far more diffused and mobile, but also generally less armed and/or provisioned irregulars on the other. However, the current COIN experience is seeing the rise of a new advent: the use of drones by both sides of the conflict.


This two-way drone warfare is in itself a complex dynamic. Pakistan is both the end-user of the small-factor drone – e.g., quadcopter and first-person-view (FPV) drone – but must also defend against them across its fixed installations (e.g., air bases) and forward-deployed units.

The Threat Pakistan Is Absorbing​

Some of the threats Pakistan has faced include repurposed Chinese commercial quadcopters – such as the DJI Mavic 3, Matrice series, and Air 2 airframes. These typically range in cost from USD $200 to $1,000 per unit. Insurgents have modified these drones with explosives weighing 400-700 g, grenades, or nail/ball-bearing packages. Currently, none of the reported drones have leveraged purpose-built release mechanisms; thus, they have largely consisted of crudely taped and tied improvisations. Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the Pakistan Army’s press wing, stated that in 2025, Pakistan faced 405 small-factor drone attacks in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.


Director General ISPR Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry provided that figure at his year-end press conference, setting it against 5,397 terrorist incidents recorded across the country in 2025. Thus, quadcopter strikes accounted for close to one in every 13 attacks that year.
