India Turns Missile Threat into Scrap Metal: Pakistan’s Attack Completely Foiled

The article reports that Indian defense forces intercepted a Pakistani drone and missile attack on military installations across 15 Indian cities on Thursday night, and that India subsequently carried out Operation Sindoor strikes on nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. It links the operation to a terrorist attack near Pahalgam on 22 April 2025 that killed 26 people and injured 17 others.
