First civilian casualty outside J&K: Punjab woman dies after Pakistani drone attack

In a renewed surge of tensions and hostilities, Pakistani&nbsp;drones have been sighted at 26 locations ranging from the Baramulla in the North to Bhuj in the South, along both the International Border and the Line of Control with Pakistan. These include suspected armed drones posing potential threats to civilian and military targets.
Several Pakistani drones were detected in the Srinagar, Jammu, Samba, and Pathankot sectors on Friday night. Drones were also spotted in Baramulla, Avantipora, Nagrota, Ferozpur, Fazilka, Lalgarh Jatta, Jaisalmer, Barmer, Bhuj, Kuarbet, and Lakhi Nala.
The Indian Armed Forces are maintaining a high state of alert, and all such aerial threats are being tracked and engaged using counter-drone systems. The situation is under close and constant watch, and prompt action is being taken wherever necessary.
Citizens, especially in border areas, are advised to remain indoors, limit unnecessary movement, and strictly follow safety instructions issued by local authorities. While there is no need for panic, heightened vigilance and precaution are essential.
