Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police have begun installing protective netting over sensitive police stations and security posts in Peshawar as part of measures to reduce the threat posed by drone attacks.
According to police officials, approximately 2,081 metres of protective netting have been installed across 31 sensitive police installations in the provincial capital.
Officials said the nets are intended to reduce the impact of explosives dropped from drones. Anti-drone guns and other counter-drone systems have also reportedly been deployed at sensitive locations.
Police officials further stated that the protective nets had undergone tests involving heavy objects to assess their strength. The effectiveness of these measures against actual drone attacks has not been independently established.
Independent verification is pending.
