According to officials, the strikes were carried out with pinpoint accuracy, ensuring no collateral damage to civilian settlements nearby. These operations followed Pakistan's failed attempts to breach Indian airspace using a fleet of drones targeting multiple cities in Jammu & Kashmir and Punjab. The Indian Army has released video footage of the strike, showcasing the scale and precision of the assault. Senior defence officials emphasized that such actions were measured, targeted, and necessary to neutralize threats and prevent future escalations.
