Ukraine categorically denied on December 12, 2025, supplying any drones to Pakistan, amid rumors circulating during the May 2025 India-Pakistan crisis sparked by Operation Sindoor. India launched the operation on May 7 in response to a deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, killing 25 Indians and one Nepali, targeting nine terror infrastructure sites linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir without hitting military or civilian facilities. The four-day conflict marked the first large-scale drone warfare between the nuclear-armed neighbors, with India deploying Israeli Harop and Heron systems alongside indigenous UAVs for precision strikes, while Pakistan launched swarms of Turkish-origin drones that faltered against Indian defenses. Kyiv’s firm rebuttal underscores India’s vigilance against adversarial drone proliferation, reinforcing New Delhi’s resolve to counter cross-border terrorism decisively.
