New Delhi: The Indian Air Force has carried out fresh strikes on Pakistan's Lahore military base, hours after its air defence systems were reportedly crippled in an earlier counteroffensive. The operation was undertaken in response to a series of coordinated drone and missile attacks launched by Pakistan on Indian military installations in Jammu, Pathankot, and Jaisalmer.

As per an India Today report, sources within the Indian security establishment confirmed that the retaliation was strategically executed, capitalising on the weakened state of Pakistan’s air defence. Earlier in the day, India’s S-400 “Sudarshan Chakra” air defence system intercepted and neutralised several incoming drones and missiles.

As per an India Today report, Pakistan’s Chinese-origin HQ-9 missile defence systems stationed in Lahore were initially targeted by Israeli-manufactured HARPY kamikaze drones, severely impairing their operational capacity. Despite these damages, Pakistan proceeded to launch further attacks on Indian bases in Jammu, Pathankot, and Udhampur.

In response, India struck the already-damaged Lahore base and reportedly shot down a Pakistani F-16 fighter jet, two JF-17 aircraft, and an Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft within Pakistan’s Punjab province.

The Pakistani offensive extended to military targets in Awantipora, Srinagar, Amritsar, Ludhiana, and Bhuj. Indian defence systems successfully intercepted several projectiles, including two kamikaze drones in Poonch.

India has not yet issued an official statement.
