During the meeting, Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi provided a detailed briefing to the Defence Minister on the current situation along the border areas with Pakistan. Air Chief Marshal A.P. Singh also updated the minister on the Indian Air Force’s countermeasures taken in response to recent provocations.
Drone and Missile Attacks on Indian Military Bases Foiled
According to reports, Pakistan attempted to target several key Indian military installations in the northern and western regions on Thursday night using drones and missiles. These attacks were allegedly in retaliation to India’s recent military operation, codenamed Operation Sindoor, which reportedly caused considerable agitation in the Pakistani military establishment.

India’s cutting-edge S-400 air defence system successfully intercepted and destroyed the incoming drones and missiles mid-air, preventing any damage or casualties. The swift and effective response demonstrated the robustness of India’s air defence capabilities.
