This response followed India's "Operation Sindoor," airstrikes on Pakistani terror camps, and a subsequent Pakistani retaliatory attempt. India also neutralized a Pakistani air defense system in Lahore.

India shot down Pakistan's drones and missiles and neautralised its Air Defence System in Lahore on Thursday. A Ministry of Defence statement said that Pakistan had attempted to engage several Indian military targets on the intervening night of May 7-8.

Tensions have risen between the nuclear-armed neighbors since an attack on Hindu tourists in Indian Kashmir last month.
