Operation Sindoor: India-Pakistan Tensions Escalate, Indian Military Destroy Pakistani Self Defence Radar Near Lahore: New Delhi – The volatile situation between India and Pakistan has escalated dramatically over the last 24 hours, transforming a calculated Indian counter-terrorist strike into a dangerous exchange along the border and the Line of Control (LoC). Following India’s “Operation Sindoor” on the night of May 6th-7th – a response to the tragic Pahalgam massacre last month – Pakistan attempted a significant military retaliation on the night of May 7th and 8th, which Indian authorities state was decisively “negated.” In a swift and “proportionate response,” Indian Armed Forces subsequently targeted and neutralized key Pakistani air defence infrastructure, including a critical radar system near Lahore.
