Biggest Drone Attack By Pakistan In 3 Days: Over 100 Launched Targeting Kashmir To Kutch Hours After Ceasefire Announcement

Srinagar: Hours after ceasefire announcement, dramatic beeline of over 100 Pakistani drones was launched by the Pakistani army targeting cities in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab and Rajasthan marking biggest ever drone attack in three days in a even bigger ceasefire violation. Apart from the drones attack, several explosions were heard in the districts of Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab. Heavy shelling and firing were also reported along the Line of Control (LoC). According to reports, the Indian armed forces retaliated to the drones attack and all the air defence systems were activated. The incident, meanwhile, has raised serious questions about Pakistan's intentions and its commitment to the ceasefire agreement. 

The ceasefire agreement, which was announced earlier in the day, was seen as a major step towards reducing tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations. However, the drone attack has casted a shadow over the agreement and raised concerns about Pakistan's willingness to honour its commitments.

Gujarat Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi too tweeted regarding sighting of drones in Kutch, urging citizens to remain and calm. In a post on X, he said, "Several drones have been spotted in the Kutch district. A complete blackout will be implemented now. Please stay safe, Don’t panic." 

Drone Attack On Several Indian Cities

The drone attack, which began shortly after the ceasefire announcement, saw multiple drones spotted across various locations in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, and Gujarat. The drones were reportedly targeting India's military bases and installations, and were met with swift action from the Indian Air Defence Systems.

In Kutch, three drones were shot down by the Indian military, while multiple drones were intercepted and brought down in Srinagar and Baramulla. The attack also caused a complete blackout in Katra, which is home to the Vaishno Devi shrine, and sirens continued to ring in multiple locations.

Heavy Artillery Firing Reported

Pakistan's actions were not limited to drones alone. The country also resorted to heavy artillery firing, providing cover to the drone swarm. The artillery fire was reported in multiple locations along the Line of Control, and has caused significant concern about the safety of civilians and military personnel.

India's Response

India has taken strong action against Pakistan's drone attack, with the Air Defence Systems activated in multiple locations. The Indian military has also been put on high alert, and all necessary measures are being taken to ensure the safety of citizens and military personnel.

Notably, Pakistan's betrayal actions are not new. The country has a long history of sponsoring terrorism and engaging in misinformation campaigns against India. The recent drone attack is just another example of Pakistan's willingness to violate ceasefire agreements and engage in aggressive tactics.
