India-Pakistan Tensions Escalate: Strategic Strikes and Cross-Border Skirmishes

In a decisive military maneuver, India launched targeted strikes on nine terror sites located in Pakistan, following the devastating Pahalgam attack. The operation saw Indian forces aiming precision assaults on locations linked to terrorist groups Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen.

Meanwhile, Pakistan escalated tensions by targeting multiple military sites across Northern and Western India with drones and missiles. In response, the Indian Air Force employed S-400 Sudarshan Chakra missiles, successfully neutralizing incoming threats. Military experts disclosed to ANI that these defensive actions highlighted the capability of India's Integrated Counter UAS Grid and Air Defence systems.

Tensions further flared as Pakistani forces initiated cross-border firing across the Line of Control, resulting in civilian casualties. Sixteen people, including women and children, reportedly lost their lives amidst unprovoked Pakistani artillery shelling. Despite these provocations, the Indian Armed Forces reiterated their commitment to non-escalation, stressing the need for restraint and peace.
