India accused Pakistan of endangering civilian lives by using commercial airliners as shields during a drone and missile attack on Thursday night targeting military bases in Jammu, Pathankot, and Udhampur. The Indian Air Force intercepted the attack, which coincided with ongoing civil air traffic in Pakistani airspace—unlike India, which had cleared its skies. Indian officials cited flight-tracking data as evidence, condemning Pakistan's "reckless disregard" for civilian safety. In retaliation, India targeted four Pakistani air defence sites, destroying one radar, but exercised restraint to avoid civilian casualties. The incident underscores escalating tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
