India Vs Pakistan War:
Pakistan launched precision strike missiles on Thursday night, attacking many towns in north and west India. Drones from Pakistan were visible over Bikaner and Jaisalmer in Rajasthan, Amritsar and Jalandhar in Punjab, and Jammu, Samba, Satwari, and Udhampur in Jammu. During the attack, sirens sounded through the night, and electricity was cut to enforce a blackout, plunging the cities into darkness.
Over fifty drones that Pakistan dispatched across the Line of Control (LoC) and International Borders (IB) were effectively destroyed by the Indian Army and Air Defense troops. According to news agency ANI, which cites sources, India began a massive counter-drone operation that involved the use of L-70 guns, Zu-23mm, Schilka systems, and other cutting-edge counter-UAS technology.
