During a press briefing on May 8, Colonel Sofiya Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh reaffirmed India’s focused and measured response to Pakistan’s military strike attempts under Operation Sindoor. Colonel Qureshi emphasised that India’s actions had been non-escalatory, specifically avoiding targeting Pakistani military establishments. She clarified that any future attacks on Indian military targets would warrant a proportional response. On the night of May 7-8, Pakistan attempted to strike several locations across northern and western India using drones and missiles, including Awantipora, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, and others. These attacks were neutralised by India’s Integrated Counter-UAS Grid and Air Defence systems, with debris from the strikes confirming the attempted attacks. Wing Commander Singh added that Pakistan had escalated cross-border shelling, causing the deaths of 16 civilians, including three women and five children, in Jammu and Kashmir’s various sectors. In retaliation, India launched counterattacks to halt the mortar and artillery fire. The Indian Armed Forces have reiterated their commitment to peace, provided Pakistan respects the ceasefire. Indian Military Foils Pakistan’s Attempts To Target 15 Places in India Using Missiles and Drones, Destroys Pakistani Air Defence System in Lahore.
