The incident came amid rapidly escalating military tensions between India and Pakistan. Earlier on Thursday, India thwarted a Pakistani attempt to target multiple military installations in Jammu, Pathankot, Udhampur using missiles and drones, signalling a dangerous uptick in hostilities.
Pakistan's attack came a day after India carried out strikes under Operation Sindoor on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK) on May 7, killing around 100 terrorists. The strikes were in response to the Pahalgam terror attack where 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed by terrorists in a targetted religious massacre.
