Drone strikes are military operations that use unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly known as drones, to target specific locations or individuals. These strikes are often employed in conflict zones to eliminate threats, such as terrorist groups or hostile forces, while minimizing the risk to military personnel. The use of drone strikes has raised various ethical and legal questions, particularly regarding civilian casualties and the sovereignty of nations. Critics argue that these operations can lead to unintended harm to innocent people, while supporters claim they are a necessary tool for national security and counterterrorism efforts.
