Pakistan on Thursday night escalated tensions by launching a swarm of drones targeting multiple civilian and military sites across India. India thwarted the attack and neutralised over 50 Pakistani drones on Thursday night, sources said. The drones were shot down in several districts of Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab, including Udhampur, Samba, Jammu, Akhnoor, Nagrota, and Pathankot.
On Thursday night, when Pakistan made failed attempts to send swarm drones all across various places along the Line of Control (LoC) and International Borders (IB), over 50 drones were successfully neutralized during a large-scale counter-drone operation conducted by Indian Army Air Defence units in the areas of Udhampur, Samba, Jammu, Akhnoor, Nagrota, and Pathankot areas, sources said.
The Indian security forces used L-70 guns, Zu-23mm, Schilka systems, and other advanced counter-UAS equipment to shot down the Pakistani drones.
Tensions have escalated between India and Pakistan after Islamabad's fresh attempts to strike military sites at 15 places in the northern and western region of the country on Wednesday night, which were successfully foiled by the Indian security forces. India on Thursday morning targeted Pakistani air defence systems at multiple cities with one in Lahore being "neutralised".
Earlier on Wednesday morning, India carried out measured and non-escalatory strikes at nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, including the Jaish-e-Mohammad stronghold of Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba's base in Muridke, in retaliation for the terror attack in Pahalgam.
