On Friday evening, Indian defence forces intercepted several Pakistani drones across six locations in Jammu, Samba, and Punjab's Pathankot, as tensions with Pakistan reached a boiling point. The drones were part of a larger offensive that included cross-border shelling from Pakistan in Uri, Kupwara, and Poonch. The city of Jammu was plunged into darkness following blasts and air raid sirens, prompting mosque announcements urging residents to switch off lights. Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah urged citizens to stay off the streets and remain calm. India responded with precision strikes and deployed advanced anti-drone systems, ensuring no civilian casualties occurred.
