Amid heightened tensions, the Indian Army thwarted a Pakistani drone and missile attack targeting the Golden Temple and key locations in Punjab on May 8. The attack followed India’s precision strikes under ‘Operation Sindoor’ launched in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Using advanced air defence systems like the AKASH missile and L-70 guns, India successfully intercepted all incoming threats. The Army emphasized its commitment to protecting religious sites and civilian lives. Targeted strikes also hit terror hubs in Muridke and Bahawalpur. Hostilities ceased on May 10 after both nations reached an understanding to end the conflict. (PC: News18)
