Earlier, several cities in Jammu, Punjab, and Rajasthan were experiencing blackouts after a Pakistani drone attack was foiled by India's air defence system.
Eight missiles from Pakistan were directed at Satwari, Samba, RS Pura, and Arnia, which were intercepted, blocked by Air Defence Units.
A blackout was enforced in Punjab's Pathankot, Hoshiarpur, and Amritsar districts after loud noises were heard by locals, which some feared could be shelling from Pakistan. Appeals were made to residents to keep their lights switched off and stay at home.
