In a statement, the Indian Army said, “Pakistan Armed Forces launched multiple attacks using drones and other munitions along the entire Western Border on the intervening night of 08 and 09 May 2025. Pak troops also resorted to numerous ceasefire violations (CFVs) along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir.”
The Army stated that the drone attacks were effectively repulsed, and a “befitting reply” was given to the ceasefire violations.
Reaffirming its stand, it added, “Indian Army remains committed to safeguarding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Nation. All nefarious designs will be responded with force.”
Earlier, the Army had mentioned that the drones were aimed at the military stations in Jammu, Pathankot and Udhampur, and all the threats were “swiftly neutralised.”
