India successfully intercepted multiple Pakistani missile and drone attacks targeting northern military installations, including Jammu and Amritsar, utilizing the S-400 air defense system. In retaliation, India executed counter operations, neutralizing Pakistan's air defense system in Lahore. This marks the first combat deployment of India's S-400 system, dubbed 'Sudarshan Chakra'. The escalation follows India's 'Operation Sindoor', launched after a terrorist attack in Pahalgam killed 26 Indian tourists. Pakistan denies initiating the drone and missile strikes, claiming to have downed 25 Indian drones over cities like Karachi and Lahore. Both nations report civilian casualties and infrastructure damage, raising international concerns over potential further escalation between the nuclear-armed neighbors.
