On 13 March 2026, three rudimentary drones were brought down in Kohat, with police saying they were intercepted before reaching their intended targets. Two civilians were injured by debris from the downed drones. Security sources described the drones as linked to Afghan Taliban-backed FAK militants. Pakistani authorities warned that any terrorist incident traced to Afghanistan would be met with full force, targeting sanctuaries and support structures inside Afghanistan. The incident underscores persistent cross-border security threats, and investigations are ongoing.
