Jawan Guarding Udhampur Air Base Killed In Pakistan Drone Attack
Surendra Singh Moga, a resident of Rajasthan, had been serving in the medical wing of the Indian Air Force for the past 14 years.
A soldier guarding the Udhampur air base was killed when he was hit by a fragment of a Pakistani drone on Saturday. The drone was successfully intercepted by the Army Air Defence, officials said.
Surendra Singh Moga, a resident of Rajasthan, had been serving in the medical wing of the Indian Air Force for the past 14 years.
He was killed before the announcement of a ceasefire by India and Pakistan to end their combat activities, which have intensified after the Indian armed forces carried out airstrikes on terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir on May 7 to avenge the Pahalgam terror attack.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma mourned the demise and paid tributes to the soldier.
“The news of the martyrdom of Shri Surendra Singh Moga ji, a son of Rajasthan, a resident of Jhunjhunu, a soldier of the Indian Army, who attained martyrdom at Udhampur Air Base while performing his duty of national security is extremely sad,” he wrote on X.
