💬 India Intercepts Missile Attack
According to Indian officials, Pakistan launched at least eight missiles aimed at the Jammu civil airport, Samba, RS Pura, Arnia, and Akhnoor, while drones targeted strategic military bases in Jammu, Pathankot, and Udhampur. The attack was designed to inflict significant damage and sow panic, but India’s advanced air defence systems intercepted and neutralised all incoming threats, averting a major disaster and ensuring the safety of critical assets and civilians.
Widespread Blackouts and Defence Across Northern India
Several regions-including Rajasthan, Punjab, Delhi, and Jammu & Kashmir-have witnessed widespread blackouts and defence. The blackouts, especially in border districts and major cities, aimed to reduce visibility for hostile aerial threats and protection. These measures reflect heightened security protocols and an atmosphere of vigilance across northern India amid ongoing cross-border hostilities and fears of escalation.
Civilian Impact
Residents captured dramatic footage of drones overhead, and debris from intercepted projectiles was scattered across northern India. Forensic teams were quickly deployed to examine the remains, with early evidence suggesting a high degree of planning and coordination behind the strike. The Ministry of Defence declared India “fully prepared to defend its sovereignty,” reinforcing a message of resilience and readiness.
Urgent Need for De-escalation
As dawn broke, calls for de-escalation grew louder, but the night’s events underscored the volatility of the region and the ever-present risk of a wider conflict between India and Pakistan-two nations with a long history and the world’s attention fixed on next moves.
