India prepares with mock drill
Mock drill followed India’s morning -morning Pahalgam counterstrike ‘Operation Sindoor’Where India carried out 24 accurate missile attacks on nine terrorist bases in Pakistan and Pakistan -occupied Kashmir (POK). Nine terrorist camps were strongholds of Lashkar-e-Tabiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed (Gem) and Hizbul Mujahideen (HM).
Operation Sindoor started at 1:05 am and lasted for 25 minutes, killing 70 militants and injured 60. Strikes were in response to a terrorist attack in Pahgam in Jammu and Kashmir, killing 26 civilians, including a Nepali National.
A nationwide citizen defense mock drill was performed at 244 locations on Wednesday, including 100 sensitive ‘civil defense districts’ such as nuclear plants, military bases, refineries and hydroelectric dams. Srilal air raids were the center of siren, fake explosion and blackouts, and fire fighting and clearance exercises.
Mock drills were organized at 55 places in the national capital Delhi, including airport and Reserve Bank of India, as well as high -legged public places such as Chandni Chowk and Khan Market. In the Khan Market, there was a sound of a siren and people were evacuated in a specified safe area.
