The Indian Army said that India thwarted Islamabad’s drone attacks, and a “befitting reply was given to the ceasefire violations.”
Meanwhile, India launched strikes on Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, as well as the cities of Lahore and Sialkot on Thursday evening, in response to successfully intercepting a series of attempted attacks on Indian cities such as Jammu, Jaisalmer, and Pathankot.
As tensions between India and Pakistan escalated, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said no limit will become an obstacle to protect India’s sovereignty and the nation is fully prepared for such responses.
He said India has always played the role of a responsible nation exercising great restraint and it believes in resolving issues through dialogue.
“However, if anyone tries to take advantage of this restraint, they will face quality action,” he said, assuring the nation that no limit will become an obstacle to protect India’s sovereignty.
