According to a government statement issued via the Press Information Bureau (PIB), the Pakistani military attempted a nighttime strike late Wednesday targeting strategic military locations including Srinagar, Awantipura, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Chandigarh, and several others in Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir, Rajasthan, and Gujarat. The coordinated attacks were thwarted by India’s Integrated Counter UAS Grid and Air Defence systems, which neutralized the incoming threats mid-air. The remains of missiles and drones are now being recovered from various locations across northern India.
Cities Targeted in the Attack Attempt:
Srinagar, Awantipura, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Chandigarh, Kapurthala, Bhatinda, Adampur, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai, Bhuj
Residents in multiple cities reported hearing loud explosions in the sky during the night, confirming successful mid-air interceptions. This comes just hours after India’s Operation Sindoor, a precision military campaign that destroyed nine terrorist camps across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The government reiterated its earlier statement made during the Operation Sindoor briefing that India’s missile strikes had been focused, measured, and non-escalatory, specifically avoiding Pakistani military establishments.
