India has firmly rejected Pakistani claims of major damage to its military infrastructure following coordinated cross-border strikes launched overnight.

In response to Pakistan’s drone attacks in Jammu & Kashmir and Punjab, the Indian Army launched Operation Sindoor, destroying terrorist launch pads near the Line of Control.

Earlier, Indian air defense units intercepted and destroyed multiple armed drones over Amritsar.
