Drone strikes are targeted attacks carried out using unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly known as drones. These strikes are often employed by military forces to eliminate specific threats, such as terrorist leaders or groups, without putting soldiers in direct danger. Drones can be equipped with precision-guided munitions, allowing for more accurate targeting. The use of drone strikes has raised various ethical and legal concerns, particularly regarding civilian casualties and the sovereignty of nations. Critics argue that these strikes can lead to unintended harm to innocent people and may violate international law, while supporters claim they are an effective tool for national security and counterterrorism efforts.
