Tensions escalated swiftly between India and Pakistan on Thursday night as Pakistan launched a wave of drones and missiles at military bases in India, including those in Jammu and Pathankot. This followed earlier attempts by Pakistan to strike around 15 locations across northern and western India, which were also foiled. These 15 locations included  Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Adampur, Bathinda, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai and Bhuj.

On Thursday afternoon, the defence ministry stated that Indian armed forces foiled Pakistan's attempts to target military installations in these 15 cities in the northern and western parts of the country using missiles and drones.

In retaliation, India launched kamikaze drones and destroyed a Pakistani air defence system in Lahore. "Indian armed forces this morning targeted air defence radars and systems at a number of locations in Pakistan."

"Indian response has been in the same domain with same intensity as Pakistan. It has been reliably learnt that an air defence system at Lahore has been neutralised," the defence ministry said.
