While India exercised caution to avoid civilian harm, Pakistan indiscriminately shelled civilian areas in J&K, killing 13 civilians, including three Sikh devotees.

Pakistan targeted civilian areas in the Karnah area, firing shells and mortars after midnight, following India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’ targeting terror camps in PoK.

In anticipation of potential retaliation from Pakistan, India has fortified its defense systems across land, air, and sea. The air defense network is activated, warships are deployed, and frontline units are prepared. Strategic Forces Command is on high alert, with new weapon systems integrated since Balakot, enhancing India’s readiness to respond to any misadventure.
