India claims to foil Pakistan attacks in 15 cities 

India has claimed that their forces have foiled Pakistan attacks in 15 Indian cities after their Operation Sindoor.

In a major escalation, Pakistan launched a coordinated attack targeting 15 Indian cities in Gujarat, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Jammu & Kashmir on the night of May 7 and 8. 

The assault involved the use of drones and missiles, aimed at Indian military installations across Northern and Western India.

India's advanced Integrated Counter-UAS Grid and Air Defence systems successfully intercepted and neutralised the incoming threats.

The cities included Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Adampur, Bhatinda, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai, and Bhuj. 

Debris from these aerial platforms is currently being recovered from multiple impact sites, providing concrete evidence of Pakistan's deliberate targeting of Indian cities.

In light of Pakistan's attempt to strike across such a wide geographic spread, India's armed forces this morning conducted precision strikes on Pakistani air defence radars and systems. 

Meanwhile, Pakistan has intensified its unprovoked artillery and mortar shelling along the Line of Control, especially in Kupwara, Baramulla, Uri, Poonch, Mendhar, and Rajouri sectors in Jammu and Kashmir. 

Sixteen Indian civilians, including three women and five children, have lost their lives in these attacks. 

In response, India was compelled to retaliate to silence the Pakistani firing and protect civilian lives, the government said in a release.
