Jaishankar: India's Approach Remains Responsible, Assures US

A senior US diplomat has called for de-escalation between India and Pakistan amid rising tensions, particularly concerning Islamabad's attacks on civilian areas in Jammu and Kashmir. During a conversation with India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged both nations to find ways to reduce hostilities. Jaishankar reaffirmed India's "measured and responsible" approach in the ongoing conflict. Rubio, who previously reached out to Pakistan's Army chief General Asim Munir, emphasized the need for constructive dialogue and offered US assistance to facilitate talks. This diplomatic engagement comes in light of recent cross-border violence, which has resulted in multiple casualties, including the death of a senior official in Rajouri. India's Operation Sindoor, launched in retaliation for a terrorist attack that killed 26 civilians, targets militant camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. The situation remains precarious as both countries navigate a long-standing rivalry. sources

Future Terrorism by Pakistan Will Be Treated as War

NEW DELHI: India has issued a stern warning that any future terrorist act originating from Pakistan will be deemed an act of war, with appropriate military responses planned. This statement follows a series of drone and missile attacks launched by Pakistan against Indian military and civilian targets in northern India, which have largely been intercepted by India's air defense systems. The escalation comes in the wake of a recent attack by Pakistan-linked terrorists that killed 26 tourists in Jammu and Kashmir. India has retaliated with precision strikes on terror infrastructure within Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). Indian sources allege that the Pakistani military, particularly the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), is actively supporting terrorist groups with logistical and financial aid. India aims to dismantle these networks and expose the Pakistani military's dual role as both a global actor and a supporter of terrorism. sources

DRDO's Anti-Drone System Haunts Pakistan

Pakistan is struggling to breach India's advanced 'Drone, Detect, Deter, and Destroy' (D4) system, developed by the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO). This indigenous technology, comparable to Israel's Iron Dome, effectively neutralizes aerial threats, particularly from Turkish drones used by Pakistan along the western border. The D4 system integrates multiple sensors for detection and identification, utilizing radar, radio frequency, and electro-optic systems. It employs soft kill methods like jamming and GPS spoofing, with hard kill options involving high-energy lasers if necessary. General Anil Chauhan, Chief of Defence Staff, highlighted the transformative role of drones in modern warfare, noting their cost-effectiveness in targeting and assessing enemy capabilities. Manufactured under India's 'Make in India' initiative, the D4 system is operational across all military branches and is also deployed for security at major national events, reflecting its efficacy and strategic importance. sources
