India Used Harpy Drones To Destroy Pakistani Air Defence Systems In Lahore, Other Places

Lahore: India used Harpy drones to target and neutralise Pakistani air defence radars in Lahore after Pakistan attempted to engage in a number of military targets on the intervening night of May 7 and May 8, a day after Indian armed forces successfully executed Operation Sindoor and targeted terror camps across Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK).

India targeted Pakistan’s air defence system at multiple location using Harpy drones after Islamabad and Rawalpindi rattled by Indian strikes on terror camps harbouring in Pakistan, attempted to target India’s military establishment across various cities.

Pakistan attempted to target Indian military targets in Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Adampur, Bhatinda, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai, and Bhuj, using missiles and drones.

However, all these attempts were thwarted by India’s robust air defence systems after S-400 neutralised Pakistani missile and drones mid air.

India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar earlier today issued a straight and strong warning to Pakistan saying any military operation from Islamabad will be met with very strict response.

Jaishankar added that its not India's intention to escalate the situation however if Pakistan launches military attacks on us, there should be no doubt that it will be met with a very very firm response.

Meanwhile, in a press conference just a while ago, the Ministry of External Affairs said, “During the press briefing on Operation Sindoor on 7 May 2025, India had called its response as focused, measured and non-escalatory. It was specifically mentioned that Pakistani military establishments had not been targeted. It was also reiterated that any attack on military targets in India will invite a suitable response.”

“On the night of May 7-8, 2025, Pakistan attempted to engage a number of military targets in Northern and Western India including Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Adampur, Bhatinda, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai, and Bhuj, using drones and missiles. These were neutralised by the Integrated Counter UAS Grid and Air Defence systems. The debris of these attacks is now being recovered from a number of locations that prove the Pakistani attacks,” the MEA informed.

In addition to this, the Indian Armed Forces on Thursday morning targeted Air Defence Radars and systems at a number of locations in Pakistan. Indian response has been in the same domain with same intensity as Pakistan. It has been reliably learnt that an Air Defence system at Lahore has been neutralised.

MEA continued slamming Pakistan for supporting, harbouring and backing terror groups not just in India but also across the world and said, "When talks were going on about the Pahalgam at the UNSC, Pakistan opposed the role of TRF (The Resistance Front). This is after TRF claimed the responsibility of the attack not once, but twice... Colonel Qureshi and Wing Commander Singh clearly said yesterday as well as today, that India's response is non-escalatory, precise, and measured. Our intention is not to escalate matters and we are only responding to the escalation. No military targets have been targeted; only terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan has been hit."
