The Indian Armed Forces have confirmed that they responded immediately to Pakistani aggression along the Line of Control (LoC). The response came amid reports of sustained shelling in multiple sectors along the border. While the full scale and impact of the attack are still being assessed, the frequency and intensity of the strikes mark a dangerous uptick in cross-border hostilities. The attack is believed to be part of a larger retaliatory move following India’s earlier Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror launch pads and infrastructure inside Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. In light of these developments, India's border security units were already on high alert, enabling a prompt and coordinated defence using interceptor systems.
