India Strikes Pakistani Air Defense Radars as Conflict Escalates

Indian Armed Forces targeted Air Defence Radars and systems at a number of locations in Pakistan this morning the Indian MoD said adding that an Air Defence system at Lahore has been neutralised.

Pakistan reported repelling drone attacks coming from India attacking a number of locations in the country.

Justifying the attack, the Indian MoD said that on the night of 07-08 May 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.

Pakistan has increased the intensity of its unprovoked firing across the Line of Control using Mortars and heavy calibre Artillery in areas in Kupwara, Baramulla, Uri, Poonch, Mendhar and Rajouri sectors in Jammu and Kashmir, the MoD said.

Sixteen innocent lives have been lost, including three women and five children, due to Pakistani firing. Here too, India was compelled to respond to bring Mortar and Artillery fire from Pakistan to a halt.

Indian Armed Forces reiterate their commitment to non-escalation, provided it is respected by the Pakistani military.
