A complete blackout has been enforced in Samba of Jammu Division and sirens can be heard. The development comes as Pakistani drones targeted Jammu & Kashmir. However, India's S-400 missile defence system brought down the Pakistani drones.
Two Pakistani drones were shot down near Jammu University.
A complete blackout has also been enforced in Punjab.
Deputy Commissioner of Hoshiarpur, Aashika Jain, said, "An immediate blackout is being enforced across Hoshiarpur district, which will remain in effect until further notice." Pakistani troops resort to shelling along LoC in Kupwara and Baramulla districts of Jammu and Kashmir," say officials.
Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has said: "India has negated Pakistan's escalation bid with focused, measured and non-escalatory response. Indian armed forces reiterate their commitment to non-escalation, provided it is respected by the Pakistani military."
