Pak Launched 400 Drones Across 36 Locations In India

India said on Friday that Pakistan launched between 300 and 400 drones across 36 locations from Leh to Sir Creek in a coordinated attempt to target the military installations. Speaking at a press briefing, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh said that the armed forces shot down many of these drones using both kinetic and non-kinetic means. One armed unmanned aerial vehicle was sent to strike the Bhatinda military station, but the attempt was foiled, she said.

Singh further added that India deployed armed drones against four Pakistani air defence sites in retaliation successfully destroying one radar system.

Centre has confirmed that Pakistani drones and missiles violated the Indian airspace during the intervening night of May 8 and 9. India activated its air defence in response including S-400 Triumph systems, Barak-8 and Akash missiles, and DRDO’s anti-drone technologies, to neutralise the threats.
