Escalating Tensions: India and Pakistan Exchange Strikes Amidst Rising Conflict

In a significant escalation of hostilities, the Indian armed forces deployed Harpy drones to neutralize Pakistani air defense systems, specifically targeting radar installations. This move comes as part of a broader strategy following Operation Sindoor, which saw the destruction of nine terror sites within Pakistan.

The Harpy drones, adept at suppressing enemy air defenses, operate autonomously with high precision, equipped to conduct deep strikes in adverse conditions. They were pivotal in swiftly dismantling air defenses in Lahore, according to Indian military sources. Meanwhile, India faces intensified cross-border firing from Pakistan, leading to civilian casualties.

In response to these attacks, India's Integrated Counter UAS Grid and Air Defense systems successfully intercepted and neutralized incoming threats. As tensions intensify, India reiterates its commitment to non-escalation, contingent upon Pakistan's cessation of unprovoked aggression. Officials are poised for further developments, with ongoing operations aimed at countering terrorist factions.
