This post comes after Pakistan launched a series of aerial attacks to target Indian locations, including the Jammu civil airport, Samba, RS Pura, Arnia and military stations in the region on Thursday evening. The Defence Ministry said the Pakistani military also attempted to target Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Adampur, Bhatinda, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai, and Bhuj.
While all threats were successfully intercepted by India’s S-400 air defence system, a blackout was imposed on cities in Rajasthan, Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh. The attacks came just a day after India carried out precision strikes on terror hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir under Operation Sindoor.
Operation Sindoor was carried out in response to the terror attacks in Pahalgam in April. On Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at 1:44 a.m., the Indian Armed Forces launched the operation, targeting nine terrorist sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. These locations were believed to be used for planning and directing attacks on India. According to sources, it has resulted in the deaths of at least 17 terrorists and injuries to 60 others. Describing the operation, the army emphasised that the strikes were carefully calibrated to avoid escalation and did not target any Pakistani military facilities.
