New Delhi, May 10
In a significant development, the Border Security Force (BSF) has destroyed a terror launchpad in Looni, District Sialkot, opposite Akhnoor area, on Saturday morning, which was being used to launch tube-drones for hitting intended targets in various cities, top defence sources said.
"On 9 May 2025, from about 2100 hrs, Pakistan initiated unprovoked firing on BSF posts in the Jammu Sector. BSF responded in a commensurate manner, causing widespread damage to the posts and assets of the Pakistan Rangers along the International Boundary. The terrorist launchpad at Looni, District Sialkot, opposite Akhnoor area, was destroyed. Our resolve to protect India's sovereignty is unshaken," the BSF said in a statement.
Powerful explosions were heard at several airbases in Pakistan this morning. The blasts hit its three air force installations, namely, Nur Jhan Airbase in Rawalpindi, Murid Air Base in Chakwal, and Rafiqui Air Base in Jhang, as per the Pakistani military.
India's retaliatory action was followed by a wave of drone attacks from Pakistan for the third consecutive night, targeting military infrastructure at about 26 locations, from Leh in the north to Sir Creek in the south.
Pakistan, being the hub of terror, has been trying to escalate the situation with India, with repeated drone and missile strikes at military installations and civilian facilities.
In Rajasthan, drones were spotted near Barmer while air raid sirens blared up in Jaisalmer on Friday night. Explosions were also heard in Srinagar early this morning.
