India said it “neutralized” Pakistani drone and missile attacks targeting several military sites on Thursday night, marking an escalation in hostilities between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
Military stations in the northern cities of Jammu, Pathankot and Udhampur near the border with Pakistan were targeted, India’s Ministry of Defence said Thursday in a post on X. “The threats were swiftly neutralized using kinetic and non-kinetic capabilities,” the ministry said, and no casualties were reported.
