India Launches Counter-Drone Strike On Pakistan, Hits Islamabad, Lahore & Rawalpindi

Pakistani drone sightings at 26 locations and heavy shelling continued on Friday along the Indo-Pakistan border amid a military standoff between the two neighbouring countries.

The relentless heavy artillery and mortar shelling by Pakistan on the volatile Jammu and Kashmir border following Operation Sindoor, claimed three lives even as the BSF thwarted a major infiltration attempt killing seven terrorists. An armed drone, meanwhile, reportedly targeted a civilian area in Punjab’s Ferozepur, leaving three members of a family injured of whom one is critical.

Complete blackouts in parts of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, and Rajasthan continued for the second consecutive day. The Indian armed forces intercepted enemy drones at 26 locations along the International Border and Line of Control (LoC) – from Baramulla in J&K to Bhuj in Gujarat.
