Defence Minister Rajnath Singh met Chief of Defence Staff Anil Chauhan and three service chiefs in Delhi on Friday morning, hours after India thwarted a wave of missile and drone attacks from Pakistan targeting military stations and other cities. The meeting was held to assess the security situation after India’s recent cross-border strikes under Operation Sindoor.
India foiled the second round of Pakistan’s airstrikes on military stations and several cities in Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Punjab, which began around 8:30 pm last night. Pakistan also targeted military stations at Jammu, Pathankot, and Udhampur, with the Indian Army retaliating swiftly.
A massive blackout was reported from Srinagar, Jammu, and several places in Punjab and Rajasthan at night.
Sources said that many Pakistani military posts along the Line of Control have been destroyed as Indian forces retaliated effectively to cross-border firing. Anti-tank guided missiles were used to strike the military posts, they said.
“Pakistan Armed Forces launched multiple attacks using drones and other munitions along the entire Western Border on the intervening night of 08 and 09 May 2025. Pak troops also resorted to numerous ceasefire violations (CFVs) along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir,” the Army said.
It added that the drone attacks were effectively repulsed, and a “befitting reply” was given to the ceasefire violations by the Army.
