According to media reports, Pakistan has targeted Jammu with loitering munitions, and Indian Air Defence guns are firing back in retaliation. The Air Defence system has been activated to neutralise the drone attack.
This comes after the Indian Armed Forces successfully neutralised the Pakistan military’s attempts at a large-scale drone and missile attack on multiple Indian military installations across Northern and Western India during the night of May 7-8, and an Air Defence system at Lahore has been neutralised.
