Pakistan still crying days after Operation Sindoor, fired 840 missiles at India but failed to..., Pakistani weapons exposed due to...
During the military confrontation between India and Pakistan, the Indian Air Force not only wreaked havoc on the terrorist structures present in Pakistan and PoK, but it also targeted Pakistan's military bases. India targeted 11 airbases of Pakistan, including the very important Rahim Yar Khan and Sargodha airbase located near Pakistan's nuclear bases.
Pakistan fired hundreds of drones and missiles over India during this confrontation, but all proved useless in front of the Indian air defense system. What happened to Pakistani missiles?
According to an HT report, after the action of Indian forces on terrorist structures, Pakistan fired at least 840 missiles on India in response but not even a single missile could hit Indian installations. Most were shot down in the air, while some fell in open fields. There are also reports of some Pakistani missiles failing. Pakistan was completely helpless against India
At the same time, Pakistan's air defense system HQ-9 acquired from China proved to be completely unsuccessful in stopping India's missiles. The Indian Scalp, Rampage or Crystal Maze missiles fired at the Lashkar-e-Taiba headquarters in Muridke and Jaish-e-Mohammed headquarters in Bahawalpur hit their targets accurately and destroyed them. The destruction of these terror structures is clearly visible in satellite images.
Pakistan's air defense proved completely helpless as Indian drones targeted them in Lahore. Such was the extent of damage on the Pakistani side that their Defense Minister Khawaja Asif said that Pakistan did not deploy its air defense system deliberately, otherwise India could have come to know about its location.

Operation Sindoor strikes sent clear message to Pakistan: Army chief Upendra Dwivedi
Chief of Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi on Saturday (July 26, 2025) said that the surgical strikes carried out during Operation Sindoor were a clear message to Pakistan that supporters of terrorism will not be spared. 'Operation Sindoor was a message to Pakistan as well as a response to the Pahalgam terror attack, which was a deep wound for the entire nation. This time India did not only mourn but showed that the response will be decisive,' Gen Dwivedi said at the Kargil War Memorial in Drass. Addressing a gathering on Vijay Diwas, the Chief of Army Staff said a stern response to the adversary was the new normal established by India. 'The faith shown by the countrymen and the free hand given by the government, the Indian Army gave a befitting surgical response. Any power that tries to challenge the unity, integrity, and sovereignty of India or harm the people will be given a befitting reply. This is the new normal of India,' he said. Gen Dwivedi said that during Operation Sindoor, the army eliminated nine high-value terrorist targets in Pakistan with zero collateral damage. 'India attained a decisive victory by effective targeting of terror infrastructure in Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. The army targeted the terrorist infrastructure and foiled the other aggressive moves of Pakistan to attain a decisive victory,' he said. Gen. Dwivedi said Indian gave peace a chance, but Pakistan resorted to cowardice. 'The Pakistani action on May 8 and 9 was responded to effectively. Our army air defence stood like an impregnable wall which could not be breached by any missile or drones,' he said. He said the Indian Army is on its way to becoming a force to reckon with in the world. 'Rudra, all of brigade, is being established for which I gave an approval yesterday. Under this, we will have infantry, mechanised infantry, armoured units, artillery, special forces and unmanned aerial units at one place to provide logistics and combat support,' he said. The army has formed a special strike force Bhairav Light Commando Unit, which is 'always ready to surprise the enemy at the border.' Gen. Dwivedi said, 'Every infantry battalion now has a drone platoon. In the artillery, the Shaktiban regiment has been set up, which will be equipped with a drone, counter-drone, and loiter munition. Every regiment will have a composite battery equipped with these things.' The Army Chief said our capability will increase manifold in coming days as we are equipping the army air defence systems with indigenous missiles. Recalling the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the silver jubilee celebrations last year, the military chief said the presence of top leaders shows that it is not only an army day but a festival for the entire nation. 'The nation is safe due to the sacrifices made by the heroes at the icy heights. We remember their dedication and determination, and we bow to the brave heroes who laid down their lives so that we can live a peaceful life with dignity,' he added.

EU sanctions on Russia oil: Indian arm of UAE-based shipping company takes a hit; Indian-origin captain of crude oil tanker faces sanctions
The scope of these sanctions is limited to EU territories, citizens, and organisations. India on its part continues to reject unilateral sanctions imposed by other nations. (AI image) EU's sanctions on Russia oil have hit an Indian branch of a UAE-based firm. Intershipping Services Hub Private Ltd, an Indian subsidiary of a UAE-based company, has been hit with sanctions from the European Union. The EU has also imposed sanctions on Captain Abhinav Kamal, who commands the crude oil tanker Argent, according to an ET report. The European Union has levelled allegations against Kamal for giving material, technical and monetary assistance to operations involving vessels that transport crude oil or petroleum products connected to Russia. According to industry observers, Kamal is the only Indian national to face EU sanctions related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The firm faces accusations of sheltering vessels involved in Russian trade operations.

However, Kamal may face significant challenges because of the extensive connections between the global maritime sector and the European Union, they indicated. The restrictions prevent Kamal from accessing or offering services to vessels with EU associations.

How EU Sanctions Are Hitting Meanwhile, the European Union's recent sanctions against Russian oil have started affecting operations at an Indian refinery. Following the EU's targeted sanctions, both oil firms and shipping companies are now avoiding business dealings with Nayara Energy Ltd. Industry sources told Bloomberg that shipping operators have shown reluctance to work with Nayara, both for product exports and crude oil imports. The Indian refinery has a significant Russian ownership, with Rosneft PJSC holding a 49.13% ownership stake. Bloomberg's vessel tracking data showed that a ship named Talara abandoned its planned stop and left Vadinar port last Sunday. Industry sources indicate the vessel was meant to collect a diesel cargo from Nayara. The collection was subsequently cancelled after last week's sanctions were announced, leaving the shipment stranded at the port.
