However, these attacks were successfully countered by India’s Integrated Counter UAS Grid and Air Defence systems, which neutralized the threats before they could reach their intended targets. The debris from these attacks is being recovered, further confirming Pakistan’s involvement in the aggression.

In response, the Indian Air Force deployed S-400 Sudarshan Chakra air defence missile systems, intercepting and neutralizing the incoming threats. Military experts have confirmed the success of these countermeasures, with an official government statement awaited.
