‘Operation Sindoor 2’: Indian Armed Forces Launch Strikes On Pakistani Air Defence System

New Delhi, May 8 (TNA) In sharp retaliation to the escalating attacks from Pakistan's side along the border, India has launched strikes on the air defence system in Lahore, officials said on Thursday.

A statement issued by the Union Defence Ministry said that on the intervening night of May 7 and 8, Pakistan attempted to engage several military targets in Northern and Western India, including Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Adampur, Bhatinda, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai, and Bhuj, using drones and missiles.

The Indian armed forces responded Thursday morning by targeting Air Defence radars and systems at several locations in Pakistan, the statement read. The missile attacks on Indian locations, the statement went on to say, “were neutralised by the Integrated Counter UAS Grid and Air Defence systems”. The debris of these attacks is now being recovered from many locations that prove the Pakistani attacks.

A rattled Pakistan, after the launch of ‘Operation Sindoor’, has increased the intensity of its unprovoked firing across the Line of Control using Mortars and heavy calibre Artillery in areas in Kupwara, Baramulla, Uri, Poonch, Mendhar and Rajouri sectors in Jammu and Kashmir in which 16 civilian lives have been lost so far.
