In a retaliatory action, the Indian Armed Forces on Thursday morning with multiple attacks in Pakistan destroyed the Air Defence System at Lahore and also targeted the Radars at a number of other locations.
An official said that on the night of 07-08 May 2025, Pakistan attempted to engage a number of 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
These were neutralised by the Integrated Counter UAS Grid and Air Defence systems. The debris of these attacks is now being recovered from a number of locations that prove the Pakistani attacks.
Today morning, Indian Armed Forces targeted Air Defence Radars and systems at a number of locations in Pakistan. Indian response has been in the same domain with same intensity as Pakistan. It has been reliably learnt that an Air Defence system at Lahore has been neutralised, the official said.
Pakistan 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.
Sixteen innocent lives have been lost, including three women and five children, due to Pakistani firing. Here too, India was compelled to respond to bring Mortar and Artillery fire from Pakistan to a halt.
Indian Armed Forces reiterate their commitment to non-escalation, provided it is respected by the Pakistani military, the official added.
Panic prevailed in various parts of Pakistan as drone strikes were reported from across the country. Unofficial reports said that the Naval Complex within the CAA Airport in Lahore was targeted.
Multiple drone strikes were reported in Karachi that is the financial capital of Pakistan. A military installation in Karachi was also targeted.
A drone attack was also reported in Rawalpindi.
