In a major revelation during a Sunday press briefing, Air Marshal AK Bharti confirmed, "We've downed a few planes," referring to Pakistani jets hit during Operation Sindoor. The Indian Air Force successfully prevented Pakistani aircraft from entering Indian airspace and inflicted losses, including the downing of high-tech jets. The military released satellite images of destroyed terror infrastructure across Pakistan and PoK, asserting all Indian pilots are safe and debunking Pakistani claims of Rafale losses. Operation Sindoor was launched in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Indian forces warned of swift retaliation against any further aggression or ceasefire violations. (PC: News18)

Vice Admiral AN Pramod revealed that the Indian Navy was fully prepared to strike key Pakistani targets, including Karachi, during Operation Sindoor launched on May 7. Speaking at a joint military briefing, he said the Navy maintained a decisive forward position in the Arabian Sea, forcing Pakistan’s naval units to stay near their harbours. India’s response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which killed 26 civilians, included air and ground precision strikes, while the Navy conducted combat drills and remained on standby. The Vice Admiral emphasized that India’s response was measured, proportionate, and aimed at preventing further escalation. (PC: India Today)

Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi has given full authority to Western Commanders to strike back if Pakistan violates the ceasefire deal reached on May 10 between both countries' DGMOs. This decision comes after Pakistan’s ceasefire and airspace violations on the night of May 10–11. The Army said the authority covers action in the kinetic domain, meaning military force, including firing. India considers any future terror act from Pakistan an act of war. After the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 tourists, India launched missile strikes on terror and military targets across Pakistan, including Sialkot, Chaklala, and Rahim Yar Khan.

On May 10, 2025, a soldier was injured in a brief exchange of fire with a suspected intruder outside the high-security Nagrota Military Station in Jammu. The incident occurred when an alert sentry noticed suspicious movement near the camp’s perimeter and challenged the suspect, leading to gunfire. A search operation has been launched to track the intruder. Meanwhile, a complete blackout has been enforced in several areas of Punjab, including Pathankot, Ludhiana, Moga, Ferozepur, and Jalandhar on Saturday evening as a precautionary measure. The incident follows a recent ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, raising concerns about its stability. (PC: The New Indian Express)  

As tensions rise between India and Pakistan following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack and India's military response under Operation Sindoor, a special evacuation train from Jammu reached New Delhi on May 9, 2025. The train carried hundreds of civilians, including students, tourists, and families of army personnel fleeing conflict zones near the Line of Control. Many recounted experiences of air raid sirens, power cuts, and fear of aerial attacks. The government coordinated this emergency move to ensure civilian safety as cross-border hostilities escalate, underscoring the gravity of the current security situation. (PC: Reuters)

Intense overnight shelling across the India-Pakistan border has killed a woman in the Uri sector of Baramulla and injured several others, including an Indian soldier.

Thousands have been moved to relief camps in five districts of the Jammu region. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and senior officials visited affected areas. The Defence Ministry stated that all aerial threats from Pakistan are being actively tracked and engaged, with the Indian Army responding strongly. (PC: Hindustan Times)

Pakistani drones have been spotted at 26 locations across India, from Baramulla to Bhuj, triggering heightened tensions. A drone attack in Ferozepur injured three civilians, causing severe burns. The Indian government has confirmed that many drones have been neutralized by the military, which remains on high alert. A precautionary blackout has been enforced in regions like Jammu, Kashmir, Punjab, and Rajasthan. Pakistan's use of drones is seen as an escalation, with attempts to test India’s air defense systems. Prime Minister Modi held a high-level security meeting, while local authorities urged citizens to stay indoors and remain vigilant. (PC: NDTV)

Tensions flared along the India-Pakistan border after Pakistani drones struck a civilian area in Punjab's Ferozepur, injuring three people. SSP Bhupinder Singh Sandhu confirmed the victims suffered burn injuries and are under medical care. The Indian Army swiftly responded, neutralising most of the drones. Meanwhile, drones were also spotted near Srinagar International Airport, accompanied by loud explosions, prompting a security lockdown. In a related precautionary move, Himachal Pradesh's Solan district declared a blackout amid escalating cross-border threats. These incidents signal rising tensions, prompting heightened security along India's northern frontier. 

On Friday evening, Indian defence forces intercepted several Pakistani drones across six locations in Jammu, Samba, and Punjab's Pathankot, as tensions with Pakistan reached a boiling point. The drones were part of a larger offensive that included cross-border shelling from Pakistan in Uri, Kupwara, and Poonch. The city of Jammu was plunged into darkness following blasts and air raid sirens, prompting mosque announcements urging residents to switch off lights. Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah urged citizens to stay off the streets and remain calm. India responded with precision strikes and deployed advanced anti-drone systems, ensuring no civilian casualties occurred.

Tensions surged in Jammu on Friday night as multiple explosions were heard across the region, triggering air raid sirens just a day after Pakistan's large-scale drone and missile offensive. The blasts followed a retaliatory strike by India on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, responding to the recent Pahalgam terror attack. While India’s air defence successfully neutralized most incoming threats on Thursday, the fresh blasts in Jammu have raised security concerns. Authorities are on high alert, and investigations are underway to determine the origin and impact of the explosions. No casualties have been reported so far.
