Amid escalating tensions following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians, the Indian Army neutralized over 600 drones launched by Pakistan. These drones, targeting military installations across northern and western India, were intercepted using advanced defense systems, including the S-400 Triumf and indigenous Akash missiles. In retaliation, India initiated Operation Sindoor, executing precision strikes on Pakistani military assets. The Indian Army released footage of drones being shot down, reaffirming its commitment to national security. A ceasefire was established on May 10, with India emphasizing its right to respond to threats. The situation underscores the volatile nature of Indo-Pak relations and the importance of robust defense mechanisms. (PC: News 18 & The Times of India)
