NATIONAL, May 08, 2025: During the press briefing on May 7 2025, India called its response focused, measured and non-escalatory. It was specifically mentioned that Pakistani military establishments had not been targeted.
It was also reiterated that any attack on military targets in India would invite a suitable response.
On the night of May 7-8, Pakistan attempted to engage a number of military targets in northern and western India, including Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Adampur, Bhatinda, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai and Bhuj using drones and missiles. These were neutralised by the Integrated Counter UAS Grid and Air Defense systems.
The debris of these attacks is now being recovered from a number of locations that prove the Pakistani attacks.
This morning, the Indian Armed Forces targeted Air Defense Radars and systems at a number of locations in Pakistan. The Indian response has been in the same domain with the same intensity as Pakistan.
It has been reliably learnt that an Air Defense system at Lahore (in Pakistan) has been neutralized.
Pakistan has increased the intensity of its unprovoked firing across the Line of Control using mortars and heavy caliber artillery in areas in Kupwara, Baramulla, Uri, Poonch, Mendhar and Rajouri sectors in Jammu and Kashmir.
Sixteen innocent lives have been lost, including three women and five children, due to Pakistani firing. Here too, India was compelled to respond by bringing mortar and artillery fire from Pakistan to a halt.
The Indian Armed Forces reiterate their commitment to non-escalation, provided it is respected by the Pakistani military.
