On Saturday, tensions soared as India's and Pakistan's militaries engaged in a high-tech exchange of drones and missiles along contested border areas. According to an Indian media briefing, Pakistan was blamed for ongoing provocations along India's western border and the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir, with reports of unmanned combat aerial vehicles, long-range weapons, loitering munitions, and fighter jets targeting both civilian areas and key military infrastructure.
Wing Commander Vyomika Singh detailed that Pakistan's military initiated several air intrusions and harassment attacks at more than 26 locations stretching from Srinagar to Naliya. High-speed missile attacks were reported after 0140 hours at air bases in Punjab, adding to the rising tension.
In response, Indian forces carried out precision airstrikes on Pakistan Air Force bases. Debris from missiles, drones, and other munitions was subsequently recovered from regions including Rajasthan, Punjab, Gujarat, and Indian-controlled Kashmir. Residents in cities such as Srinagar and Jammu reported hearing loud explosions throughout the night and into the early morning.
This dramatic clash, marked by modern technology and pinpoint strikes, underscores the fragile state of border tensions between the two neighbors. Stay informed and keep an eye on further updates as the situation unfolds. 🚀😎
