There has been a heavy fire from across the border after carrying out the target attacks on terrorist bases in Pakistan for the Pahgam terror attack in civilian areas in Jammu and Kashmir, in which 25 innocent people were killed in cold blood.

After Operation Sindoor, many people have been killed after Pakistan targeted civil areas in Jammu and Kashmir, under which India attacked nine places with terrorist infrastructure associated with Jai-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba. Two terrorist organizations banned in many parts of the world have been supporting the acts of terror on Indian soil for decades. After the airstrike, India said that it did not target military installations and also released the visuals by releasing how it carried forward attacks with accuracy and kept the collateral damage minimal.
However, Pakistan has responded by intensifying residential areas, targeting places of worship and has launched a barrage of drone towards several states and center areas along the northwestern border of India, which is starting from Jammu and Kashmir to Rajasthan.
In many cities in these states, sirens are going on in a stoppage as India’s air defense system prevents drones and missiles. The drone attacks have occurred with heavy shells from Pakistan. Indian forces are effectively responding and their uplift has reduced major defense systems in Pakistan.
The Ministry of Defense said yesterday that drones, some of them, were seen at 26 places along the International Border and Line of Control along with Pakistan. “Places include Baramulla, Srinagar, Avantpora, Nagota, Jammu, Ferozepur, Pathankot, Fazilka, Lalgarh Jatta, Jaisalmer, Bermer, Bhuj, Kurbet and Lakhi Nala.”
“Sadly, an armed drone targeted a civilian area in Ferozpur, resulting in injuries to a local family members. Medical assistance has been provided to the injured and the region has been cleaned by security forces.”
The ministry said on X, “Indian armed forces are maintaining a high status of alert, and all such aerial threats are being tracked and attached using the counter-drain system.
“Citizens, especially in border areas, living indoors, limiting unnecessary movement and strict adherence to safety instructions issued by local authorities are advisable while there is no need for panic, vigilance and precaution are necessary.”
