Tensions between India and Pakistan are escalating, with both sides trading accusations of aggression.
India’s Defense Ministry claims Pakistan launched a drone and missile attack on Indian military targets overnight, targeting areas including Kashmir, Punjab, and Gujarat.
The Indian military says it intercepted the attack using its air defense systems.
Airstrikes and Counterattacks
India’s military responded by striking Pakistan’s radar and air defense systems.
They claim to have destroyed a key air defense system in Lahore.
India accuses Pakistan of intensifying cross-border attacks along the Line of Control, which divides Kashmir.
Pakistan, on the other hand, says it downed 25 Indian drones overnight but doesn’t mention India’s alleged drone and missile attack.
Escalating Violence
The latest developments come after India’s airstrikes in Pakistan on Wednesday.
India claims the strikes targeted terrorist infrastructure in response to a recent attack on tourists in Kashmir.

Pakistan also claims to have downed five Indian fighter jets, although India neither confirms nor denies this.
The two countries have been exchanging gunfire across the Kashmir border, resulting in civilian casualties.
India says Pakistan’s artillery fire killed at least 16 people and injured dozens more.
The situation remains volatile, with both sides accusing each other of aggression.
