Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is set to hold a high-level meeting shortly with the chiefs of the Indian Army, Navy, Air Force, and the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) to assess the security situation following intensified shelling by Pakistan along the border areas.
The meeting aims to review the latest developments along the Line of Control (LoC) and International Borders (IB), where Pakistani forces have escalated cross-border shelling and drone activities over recent days.
Top military officials will brief the Defence Minister on the operational readiness of the Indian armed forces, recent counter-drone operations, and ongoing measures to safeguard critical infrastructure and civilian areas near the borders.
Sources indicate that discussions will also focus on strategic responses and defence coordination in light of the heightened tensions.
In a significant escalation of cross-border tensions, the Indian Army successfully neutralised over 50 Pakistani drones during a large-scale counter-drone operation along the Line of Control (LoC) and International Borders (IB).
According to defence sources, swarm drones were launched from Pakistan targeting multiple locations including Udhampur, Samba, Jammu, Akhnoor, Nagrota, and Pathankot. The Indian Army’s Air Defence units swiftly responded, employing a comprehensive array of weaponry to eliminate the aerial threats.
The engagement involved extensive use of L-70 anti-aircraft guns, Zu-23mm, Schilka systems, and other advanced counter-unmanned aerial systems (UAS) equipment. The operation showcased the Indian Army’s robust capability to intercept and neutralize complex drone attacks across a wide operational area.
Sources emphasised that the swift action successfully averted any damage to critical infrastructure and safeguarded civilian areas along sensitive border regions. Security forces remain on high alert amid ongoing tensions.
In view of the current situation prevailing in the country, the Punjab Government has established a control room.
According to the information given by the official spokesperson, the Disaster Management Control Room of the Financial Commissioner Revenue has issued phone numbers 0172-2741803 and 0172-2749901 for the convenience of the people. In case of any emergency, the above numbers can be contacted.
US Vice-President JD Vance has stated that the ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan is "fundamentally none of our business," even as he and President Donald Trump encourage both nations to de-escalate tensions.
“What we can do is try to encourage these folks to de-escalate a little bit, but we're not going to get involved in the middle of a war that's fundamentally none of our business and has nothing to do with America's ability to control it,” Vance said in an interview with Fox News. “America can't tell the Indians to lay down their arms. We can't tell the Pakistanis to lay down their arms. So, we're going to continue to pursue this through diplomatic channels.”
Vance, a known advocate of US disengagement from international conflicts, emphasised that the administration’s hope is to prevent the situation from spiraling into a broader regional war or a nuclear confrontation. “Right now, we don't think that's going to happen,” he added.
His comments came as Pakistan reportedly made a failed attempt to attack military establishments in Jammu, Pathankot, and several other Indian cities.
Electricity was restored in Pathankot on Thursday morning following a blackout during the night.
Authorities confirmed that there are no reports of any loss of life or property in the area. The Pathankot airbase is also completely secure, officials added.
