Though the Army has not disclosed the exact sector targeted, the footage highlights how India responded strongly and in a calibrated manner to the ongoing ceasefire violations.
The developments followed the precise missile strikes carried out by the Indian armed forces on nine terror targets in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Pakistan early Wednesday under Operation Sindoor, in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.
The Ministry of Defence on Thursday reiterated that any attack on military sites in India will invite a “suitable response”.
In a late night statement on Thursday, the defence ministry said, “Military stations at Jammu, Pathankot and Udhampur were targeted by Pakistani-origin #drones and missiles along the International Border in J&K today.”
The forces swiftly neutralised the threats using kinetic and non-kinetic capabilities, following established standard operating procedures (SOPs). They reported no casualties or material losses. India remains fully prepared to defend its sovereignty and ensure the safety of its people,” it said.
