Jammu: In a brazen move to escalate tensions, Pakistan launched a coordinated attack on Jammu, targeting the airport and other civilian locations. The Indian Air Force (IAF) and Army quickly sprang into action, neutralising the threat and intercepting Pakistani drones and missiles.
The attack began with an explosion near Jammu airport, prompting the activation of air raid sirens and the shutdown of electricity across the city. The Indian Air Force’s S400 and Akash air defense systems were quickly activated, and a Pakistani F16 fighter jet, which had taken off from Sargodha, was reportedly intercepted and neutralised.
According to reports, a swarm of Pakistani drones was fired at multiple locations, including Jammu, and were intercepted at three locations – Jammu, RS Pura, and other areas. At least six explosions were reported across Jammu amid the drone attack, causing widespread panic and alarm.
The Indian military’s swift and decisive action prevented any major damage or casualties, and the situation is now under control, as per the Indian defence forces. The attack is seen as a major escalation of tensions between India and Pakistan, and the Indian government has warned of severe consequences for Pakistan’s aggression.
The incident has raised serious questions about Pakistan’s intentions and its willingness to engage in provocative actions.
