On May 9, Pakistan carried out a series of aerial assaults aimed at multiple locations across Jammu, including the civil airport, RS Pura, Samba, Arnia, and several military bases. These strikes followed India’s targeted air raids on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, conducted as part of Operation Sindoor in response to the Pahalgam attack. Despite the escalation, India’s advanced S-400 air defense system effectively neutralized all incoming threats, preventing any major damage.
In a post on X, the Indian Army announced that it had strongly responded to a wave of coordinated assaults launched by the Pakistan Armed Forces along the western frontier, including the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, during the night between May 8 and 9. The Army confirmed that multiple drone intrusions were successfully thwarted.
