The Indian armed forces foiled attempts by the Pakistani military to engage a number of military targets across 15 cities in Northern and Western India using drones and missiles on Wednesday, the Centre said.

The shower of drone and missile strikes on military sites seen on Thursday represented the worst face-off between the two nuclear-armed neighbours in decades

India carried out a massive cross-border military operation, targeting terror camps in 9 locations across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Dubbed Operation Sindoor, the strikes left nearly 100 terrorists dead and dealt a major blow to the Jaish-e-Mohammad network.
