India destroys air defence systems in Pakistan's Lahore, Multan, Sargodha, Faisalabad as tensions escalate

New Delhi: India on Thursday destroyed air defence systems in Pakistan's Lahore, Multan, Sargodha, Faisalabad as tensions escalate between both nations. Earlier, Pakistan made attempts to launch attacks at multiple locations inside India, which were foiled by India's air defence systems. Pakistan attempted to hit various locations along India's western borders with drones and missiles on Thursday night but it could not succeed, military officials said.

Pakistan attempted to target military stations in Jammu, Pathankot and Udhampur, they said. The officials said Pakistani drones were effectively engaged by the Indian armed forces and the attempts were thwarted.

The Indian armed forces targeted air defence radars and systems at a number of locations in Pakistan and "neutralised" an air defence system in Lahore, it said.
