Following a major escalation by Pakistan in the form of attempted missile strikes in Jammu and Kashmir and drone strikes in other parts of India, including Rajasthan’s Jaisalmer, the Indian Navy has started a retaliatory operation, sources have said.
Targeted operations, they said in the early hours of Friday, have begun in the Arabian Sea against multiple targets in Pakistan.
On Thursday, loud explosions were heard in Jammu and it was later learnt that Pakistan had launched missiles not only at the city but several other parts of Jammu and Kashmir, including RS Pura, Arnia, Samba and Hiranagar. All the missiles were successfully intercepted by India’s air defence systems.
