On May 8, 2025, Pakistan launched a major drone offensive using 300–400 drones across 36 locations in India, from Leh to Sir Creek. Investigations revealed the drones were Turkish-made Asisguard Songar models, capable of surveillance and strikes. Some drones mimicked civilian aircraft to evade radar detection. The assault, suspected to be a probe of India’s air defences, drew a swift response. India retaliated with drone strikes under “Operation Sindoor,” destroying four Pakistani air defence sites, including a radar. This marks a serious escalation in Indo-Pak tensions, drawing global concern and calls for de-escalation. (PC: Screengrab)
