The Indian military is currently recovering the debris from the attacks in order to prove Pakistan's role in the aggression.

In the defence ministry's statement they said, “Today morning Indian Armed Forces targeted Air Defence Radars and systems at a number of locations in Pakistan. Indian response has been in the same domain with same intensity as Pakistan. It has been reliably learnt that an Air Defence system at Lahore has been neutralised.”

The move came after Pakistan attacked with unprovoked mortar and artillery fire along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kupwara, Baramulla, Uri, Poonch, Mendhar, and Rajouri areas after Operation Sindoor.

Pakistan’s firing has claimed the lives of sixteen innocent people, including three women and five children, according to the Indian military.
