Pakistani drone attack victim from Punjab's Ferozepur succumbs to injuries

One of the victims of the recent Pakistani drone attack in Ferozepur has succumbed to her injuries. Sukhwinder Kaur, who suffered severe burns, passed away late on Monday night at DMCH, Ludhiana.

The incident occurred on May 11, around 9 pm, in Khai Pheme Ki village, located 12 kilometers from Ferozepur district headquarters.

The family was having dinner on their open verandah when a Pakistani drone, intercepted by India’s Air Defence system, fell on their property. The debris caused a fire that engulfed the car parked outside, leading to serious injuries.

Sukhwinder Kaur sustained 100 per cent burn injuries, while her husband, Lakhwinder Singh, suffered 70 per cent burns. They were both referred to Dayanand Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) in Ludhiana. Their son, Jaswant Singh, sustained injuries but remains admitted at Ferozepur hospital, and his condition is stable.

A family relative confirmed Sukhwinder Kaur's death and stated that both Lakhwinder and Jaswant's condition is under control. “The police will be going to DMCH in Ludhiana to bring the body of the deceased back to Ferozepur,” the relative added.

The attack was a result of the debris from the drone, which caused the fire and the tragic injuries to the family.
