Major escalation along the India-Pakistan border is being reported, with reports coming that India has neutralised several Pakistani drones attempting to breach India's airspace.

New Delhi: India has destroyed 8 Pakistani missiles that were launched at Satwari, Samba, RS Pura and Arnia sector over Jammu on Thursday night. All the missiles were intercepted by Indian Air Defence units and shot down. A complete blackout has been enforced in Udhampur, Jammu and Kashmir.

The attempted air strike -- drones and missiles being fired-- triggered blackouts and sirens across several areas in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, and Rajasthan.
