Pakistan installs fishing nets at security outposts to block drone attacks

In Pakistan, police in Hangu district installed overhead fishing nets at their checkpost to prevent explosive drones from attacking. This measure was implemented after an April 2026 attack claimed by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which lasted about seven hours and injured a police officer. Since the installation of the nets, no drone attacks have occurred at the site. Fayyaz Khan, a police inspector, states that these simple, fishing-net-like barriers have successfully intercepted incoming drones.
