The ADG PI said that Pakistan has continued to escalate tensions through drone strikes and munitions, noting that around 5 AM, multiple "enemy armed drones" were detected over Khasa Cantonment in Amritsar, Punjab, and were successfully destroyed by air defence units. (Image credits: ANI)

Meanwhile, chief of defence staff (CDS) general Anil Chauhan met defence minister Rajnath Singh to brief him on the country's security situation. The meeting followed heightened tensions after Pakistan's drone attacks on Indian military and civilian targets, prompting India to retaliate with air-launched precision strikes on Pakistani military targets.
