Indian armed forces in retaliation targeted air defence radars and systems in Pakistan, neutralising one in Lahore.
The ministry of defence on Thursday said that Pakistan attempted to target several military sites across northern and western India on the night of May 7-8, using drones and missiles.

Locations including Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Adampur, Bathinda, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai, and Bhuj were among the sites that Pakistan attempted to target, but these efforts were successfully thwarted by India’s Integrated Counter UAS Grid and Air Defence systems, the ministry of defence said in a statement.
It added that the debris recovered from these strikes has verified the source of the attacks. However, in retaliation, the Indian armed forces targeted air defence radars and systems in Pakistan, neutralising one in Lahore.
“Today morning Indian Armed Forces 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 ministry added in the statement.
