On May 8, 2025, India destroyed Pakistan's air defence systems, including the HQ-9 missile defence units in Lahore, as part of Operation Sindoor’s follow-up. This response came after Pakistan attempted drone and missile attacks on 15 Indian military installations, which were intercepted by India's S-400 air defence system. India used Israeli-made HAROP drones to dismantle Pakistan’s aerial defences. The strikes resulted in the injury of four Pakistani soldiers and the death of a civilian in Sindh. These actions represent a significant escalation in ongoing India-Pakistan tensions, especially following the Pahalgam attack. (PC: DNA INDIA)
