Tensions between India and Pakistan rose sharply on Saturday (May 10) after Pakistan launched an attack on India's Jammu & Kashmir after claiming missile attacks on three key airbases.
On May 9, Pakistan opened fire on BSF posts in the Jammu sector without any provocation. BSF is responding in a commensurate manner, causing widespread damage to posts and assets of Pakistan Rangers along the International Boundary. Our resolve to protect India's sovereignty is unshaken, BSF said.
These events came just days after India launched Operation Sindoor, targeting nine terror camps in Pakistan.
On Friday night (9 May), the Pakistani military again carried out heavy shelling across the International Border. This is the second night in a row that areas in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab and Rajasthan have come under fire.
The Ministry of Defence said drones were seen at 26 different places along the Line of Control and the International Border on Friday. Some of these drones were suspected to be carrying weapons and may have been aimed at both civilian and military areas.
