Air Raid Sirens Sounded In Ambala After IAF Station Warns Of Possible Attack By Pakistan

The sirens in Ambala came after Chandigarh witnessed air raid sirens earlier in the morning after receiving a warning from the Indian Air Force Station of a “possible attack". The administration later said that the alert was over.

The development came after India successfully retaliated to Pakistan’s escalated hostilities as it opened air strikes and drone attacks in several border areas of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab and Rajasthan on Thursday evening, marking a significant escalation a day after India struck terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

There was a blackout situation in Jammu, Srinagar, Udhampur, Baramulla, Pathankot, Chandigarh, Gurdaspur, Amritsar, Jalandhar, Barmer, and Jaisalmer on Thursday night after Pakistan attempted to target several areas in India.

According to sources, Pakistan on Thursday made failed attempts to send swarm drones across various places along the Line of Control and international borders. Reportedly, over 45-50 drones were successfully neutralised during a large-scale counter-drone operation conducted by Indian Army air defence units in the areas of Udhampur, Samba, Jammu, Akhnoor, Nagrota, and Pathankot areas.

Pakistan once again early Friday morning resorted to heavy shelling along the Line of Control (LoC). Several houses were damaged in Uri and Chowkibal Kupwara, while one woman was reportedly killed in Uri.
