India's air defense system successfully intercepted two waves of missile and drone attacks from Pakistan within 48 hours, safeguarding military installations across Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, and Rajasthan. The first wave of attacks commenced on May 7, following India's Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror camps in Pakistan. Utilizing advanced technologies, including the S-400 missile defense system and Israeli-made HARPY drones, Indian forces effectively neutralized threats aimed at 15 cities. The second wave prompted air raid sirens and a blackout in border towns, but Indian defenses once again proved resilient. The integrated counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) played a crucial role in detecting and neutralizing aerial threats, employing various countermeasures. India's defense arsenal includes the short-range SAMAR system and the indigenous Akash missile system, enhancing the country's capability to defend against diverse aerial threats. 
Published: May 09 2025, 12 pmeznews.inNEW DELHI: The Indian government has accused Pakistan of deliberately targeting places of worship along the border in Jammu and Kashmir, citing damage to several gurudwaras, convents, and temples from recent shelling. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri condemned this escalation, particularly highlighting the tragic deaths of two students from a Christian school in Poonch due to Pakistani artillery fire. Misri stated that such actions represent a new low for Pakistan and dismissed Islamabad's claims that India was attacking its own cities as "a deranged fantasy." The tensions between the two nations have heightened following a terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people, which India attributes to Pakistan. In retaliation, India launched 'Operation Sindoor,' targeting nine terror bases in Pakistan. Following these strikes, India reported heavy shelling from Pakistan, prompting defensive measures, including blackouts in several states to safeguard against potential air strikes.
Published: May 09 2025, 7 pmeznews.inPakistan launched missile attacks on 15 Indian cities late Wednesday and early Thursday, disregarding India's warnings against escalation and targeting military installations. In retaliation, Indian forces neutralized Pakistani air defense systems in locations including Lahore. The Indian government confirmed that its response was proportionate to Pakistan's aggression, employing advanced defense systems like the Russian-made S-400 to intercept threats. This escalation follows India's Operation Sindoor, which targeted terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, killing over 100 militants in response to a terror attack that resulted in 26 civilian deaths. Despite the ongoing tensions, Indian officials emphasized their commitment to non-escalation, contingent on Pakistan's actions. The situation remains critical, with reports of increased cross-border firing resulting in civilian casualties on both sides.
Published: May 08 2025, 10 pmeznews.inIn a tense escalation between India and Pakistan, the Indian armed forces successfully targeted and destroyed an air defence radar in Pakistan after thwarting multiple incursions by Pakistani drones into Indian airspace. Wing Commander Vyomika Singh reported that the Pakistani military attempted to penetrate Indian airspace with 300-400 drones aimed at military installations, leading to defensive actions from India, which neutralized many of the intruders. Notably, an armed UAV attempted to strike the Bathinda military station but was intercepted. This follows Pakistan's earlier failed missile attacks on 15 Indian cities, prompting India to launch phase two of Operation Sindoor, which has already neutralized air defence systems in Lahore. In response to ceasefire violations, Indian retaliatory fire reportedly caused significant losses to the Pakistani army. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri emphasized that India's responses have been "responsible and sufficient," indicating a measured approach to the ongoing conflict.
Published: May 09 2025, 7 pmeznews.inPrime Minister Narendra Modi convened a meeting with India's three service chiefs on Friday amid escalating tensions with Pakistan, marking the most severe conflict in nearly three decades. This escalation followed India's air strikes under Operation Sindoor on Wednesday, targeting what it described as "terrorist infrastructure" in Pakistan, in retaliation for a deadly attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 tourists. In response, Pakistan launched drone attacks along its western border on the night of May 8-9, which the Indian Army reported as effectively repulsed, aided by the Akash surface-to-air missile system. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh conducted a review of national security following these incidents, and the central government has granted the Army Chief authority to mobilize the Territorial Army as needed. Additionally, states have been instructed to empower civil defence authorities for emergency procurement, enhancing preparedness for potential crises.
Published: May 09 2025, 7 pmeznews.inNEW DELHI: Pakistan launched an unprecedented attack, firing over 300 drones, including some of Turkish origin, aimed at military installations across 36 cities in northern and western India, from Jammu and Kashmir to Punjab and Rajasthan. India successfully neutralized the assault. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, in a briefing, linked the drone strikes to the Jaish-e-Mohammed headquarters and the 2002 murder of Wall Street Journal journalist Daniel Pearl, who was killed by Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, a British-Pakistani jihadi with ties to the ISI. The drone attack followed India's 'Operation Sindoor,' a precision strike on terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan, which reportedly killed key figures, including Masood Azhar's brother. Misri emphasized that India targeted only terrorists, refuting Pakistan's claims of civilian casualties, and criticized the practice of state funerals for terrorists in Pakistan, underscoring the ongoing tensions between the two nations.
Published: May 09 2025, 7 pmeznews.inIn a significant escalation of hostilities, Pakistan launched an attack involving 300 to 400 drones targeting Indian military installations across 36 locations in Jammu and Kashmir, Rajasthan, and Punjab late Thursday night. Colonel Sofiya Qureshi reported that Indian air defence systems successfully intercepted most of these drones, shooting down 50 and neutralising another 20 through radio frequency jamming. Many drones were unarmed, suggesting a test of India's defences, although some were equipped with cameras. The drone assault followed a precision strike by India on terror camps in Pakistan, prompting a retaliatory missile barrage from Islamabad. Despite the attack, India's air defence capabilities, including the Akash missile system, effectively repelled the threats, reinforcing India's aerial dominance. The incident marks a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement and has resulted in casualties, including 16 Indians, as tensions between the two nations continue to rise.
Published: May 09 2025, 6 pmeznews.inNEW DELHI: In a troubling development, Pakistan did not close its airspace on Thursday, allowing civilian aircraft to operate while covertly launching Turkish-made drones at Indian cities, according to an official briefing. The Indian government reported that approximately 300-400 drones were deployed towards civilian buildings, military installations, and religious sites across northern India, using unsuspecting civilian flights as shields. Despite the ongoing incursions, India's air defence network successfully intercepted many of the drones. Meanwhile, heavy shelling from Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch region tragically resulted in the deaths of two students from a convent school. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri condemned the attacks, stating that targeting places of worship represented a new low for Pakistan. The drones, identified as Asisguard Songar models, were jammed and shot down by Indian forces during the assault.
Published: May 09 2025, 6 pmeznews.inA recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, carried out by The Resistance Front, resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians and highlighted a significant failure of Indian deterrence against large-scale Pakistani terrorism. This incident marks a stark reminder of the last major attack in February 2019, which prompted India to conduct airstrikes against terrorist camps in Pakistan. In response to the latest violence, India launched 'Operation Sindoor,' targeting multiple terror havens, demonstrating a shift in strategy aimed at deterring future attacks. Pakistan, facing international pressure and internal challenges, has vowed to retaliate, leading to increased cross-border skirmishes and a potential escalation of conflict. Despite India's airstrikes, both nations appear entrenched in a cycle of retaliation, complicating prospects for de-escalation. The fragile deterrence dynamic underscores the need for comprehensive measures beyond military action to address the underlying issues of terrorism and regional stability.
Published: May 09 2025, 6 pmeznews.inA recent study published in *Scientific Reports* reveals that humans can enhance their bond with cats through a simple slow blinking technique. By narrowing their eyes and blinking slowly, humans can make cats feel more comfortable and foster trust, even with unfamiliar felines. The research, led by Dr. Tasmin Humphrey and Professor Karen McComb from the University of Sussex, involved two experiments demonstrating that cats are more likely to reciprocate slow blinks from their owners and approach outstretched hands after receiving a slow blink from a researcher. This eye-narrowing behavior in cats parallels human smiles and suggests a form of positive communication. Dr. Leanne Proops noted the challenges of studying natural cat behavior, while the findings could improve feline welfare and enhance understanding of cat-human interactions. Cat owners are encouraged to try this technique to start a “conversation” with their pets, potentially enriching their relationship.
Published: May 09 2025, 5 pmeznews.inThe Indian Defence Ministry has activated 14 of its 32 infantry battalions from the Territorial Army for deployment across the country until 2028, amid escalating military tensions with Pakistan following the recent Pahalgam terror attack. This move aims to enhance India's readiness and strategic reinforcement. India boasts a significant military advantage over Pakistan, with approximately 1.475 million active personnel compared to Pakistan's under 700,000, alongside superior airpower, artillery, and armoured vehicles. Recent military actions include repelling drone and missile attacks from Pakistan and launching Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, resulting in over 100 militant deaths. India asserts it has evidence of Pakistan's involvement in various terror attacks, including the Pahalgam incident, a claim Pakistan denies, calling for an independent inquiry. The ongoing military dynamics reflect decades of border conflict between the two nuclear powers.
