In a swift escalation of hostilities, the Indian Navy initiated targeted operations in the Arabian Sea early Friday, following Pakistan’s attempted missile and drone strikes across Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, and Rajasthan. India’s air defence systems intercepted all incoming threats, including missiles aimed at Jammu, RS Pura, and Jaisalmer. Pakistan’s aggression followed India’s Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror hubs in Muridke and Bahawalpur. With blackouts in multiple cities and naval retaliation underway, India affirmed its preparedness to protect sovereignty. Defence and foreign ministries emphasized India’s measured response and blamed Pakistan for triggering the crisis with the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. (PC: NDTV)
