The Indian Army has conducted targeted operations to neutralize multiple Pakistani drone launch pads and military posts near the Jammu region, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing hostilities between the two nations.

According to reports from the Border Security Force (BSF), Pakistani troops initiated "unprovoked" firing along the International Border in the Jammu sector overnight. In response, Indian forces launched precision strikes, destroying a "terror launch pad" at Looni in Pakistan's Sialkot district. The BSF also claimed to have inflicted "widespread damage" to Pakistani border guard posts and assets. Footage accompanying the statement showed explosions and fires at the targeted sites. However, these claims have not been independently verified.

The Indian Ministry of Defence has not officially commented on the operation. The strikes come amid heightened tensions following a series of missile and drone attacks between the two countries earlier this week. Both nations have accused each other of initiating hostilities, with India alleging that Pakistan launched strikes on 26 military sites, including airfields in Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir, resulting in equipment and personnel damage.

In retaliation, Pakistan launched a counteroffensive named Operation Bunyan Ul Marsoos, targeting Indian bases including Pathankot and Udhampur, causing explosions and panic in civilian areas.

The escalation has led to significant destruction near the Line of Control, with both sides reporting civilian casualties. The international community has expressed concern over the situation, urging both India and Pakistan to de-escalate tensions and engage in dialogue to prevent further conflict.

As the situation remains fluid, the global community continues to monitor developments closely, hoping for a return to peace and stability in the region.
