On the night of 8–9 May 2025, Pakistan carried out large-scale violations of Indian airspace, attempting to target military infrastructure with 300–400 drones across 36 locations from Leh to Sir Creek. Indian forces neutralized many using kinetic and non-kinetic means. An armed #UAV strike on Bhatinda was also thwarted. India responded by launching drone strikes on four Pakistani air defence sites, destroying a #radar. Pakistan escalated with artillery and drone attacks across the #LoC, causing casualties. Alarmingly, Pakistan kept its civil #airspace open during the assault, endangering civilian flights.

In a grave escalation, Pakistan launched multi-vector attacks along the western border using drones, UCAVs, artillery & missiles—targeting over 26 locations from Srinagar to Nalia. Indian Air Force bases at Udhampur, Pathankot, Adampur & Bhuj sustained limited damage. In a cowardly act, Pakistan also struck civilian infrastructure including Medicare centres & schools. India responded with swift precision strikes on identified military targets at Rafiqi, Chaklala, Rahim Yar Khan & more, ensuring minimal collateral damage. The Indian Army effectively countered #LoC intrusions, causing extensive damage to Pakistan’s forces. Troop movements on the Pakistani side signal intent to escalate. India remains in a high state of operational readiness, committed to non-escalation, provided there is mutual restraint. #OperationSindoor #PehalgamTerroristAttack #JusticeServed #PakistanPropaganda #FactCheck Rajnath Singh रक्षा मंत्री कार्यालय/ RMO India Sanjay Seth HQ IDS ADG PI - INDIAN ARMY SpokespersonNavy Indian Air Force PIB India PIB Fact Check
