Earlier today, Pakistan attempted to strike 15 military targets in India, prompting India to destroy air‑defence radar systems near Lahore. Both sides have been exchanging drone and missile strikes in recent days.
According to India’s Ministry of Defence, on the night of May 7-8, following Operation Sindoor, Pakistan launched drones and missiles at military installations across northern and western India. Targeted sites included Awantipora, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Adampur, Bhatinda, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai and Bhuj. All threats were successfully blocked and neutralised by India’s Integrated Counter‑UAS grid and air‑defence systems.
Indian Retaliation
In the early hours of 9 May, the Indian Armed Forces struck back, targeting Pakistani air‑defence radars and associated systems at multiple locations. Reports confirm that an air‑defence installation close to Lahore was knocked out.
India has reiterated its commitment to a policy of measured response and non‑escalation, provided Pakistan reciprocates. Both nations continue to monitor the situation closely amid heightened tensions.
