India-Pakistan conflict further escalates

The Indian Navy has launched a fierce attack on Pakistan's naval base using MAG-29 from INS Vikrant targeting the Karachi Port, media reports said.

The attack was launched from the Arabian Sea by the Indian Navy.

The attack on Pakistan's Naval base was a part of a multi-faceted operation by the Army, Navy and Airport in retaliation against Islamabad's unprovoked sporadic missile attack in Jammu, Punjab and Rajasthan.

The Indian Army has activated a line of air defence systems, mainly the Russian-built S-400 air, to thwart Pakistan’s coordinated missile and drone strikes targeting multiple locations across Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Gujarat.

According to media reports Thursday, the S-400 — referred to by the Indian military as Sudarshan Chakra — was first used late Wednesday night to intercept and destroy 15 missiles launched by Pakistan at Indian cities.

Following the interceptions, Israeli-made HARPY drones were deployed to disable Pakistani air defence radars, including one in Lahore.

Sources told ANI that the Air Force successfully fired the S-400 at “moving targets” headed towards Indian airspace and neutralised them. Subsequently, HARPY drones were launched to target and cripple Pakistani radar systems.

Earlier Thursday, the government said Pakistani forces attempted to strike military installations in 15 Indian cities, mostly in the country’s northern and western sectors. These efforts, it said, were thwarted and met with a counter-strike that disabled Pakistan’s air defence capabilities.

The Defence Ministry also stated that debris from the intercepted missiles and destroyed drones is being recovered and will serve as additional evidence in India's case against Pakistan, which it accuses of sponsoring cross-border terrorism — through both material support and militant training.

These developments come a day after Operation Sindoor, India’s military response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, which left 26 civilians dead.
