In a significant security development, Pakistan attempted a missile strike on the Jaisalmer region late Thursday, triggering an immediate response from India’s air defence systems. The region’s air defence infrastructure was promptly activated to neutralise the incoming threats. Sources reported that more than 70 missiles were intercepted and destroyed mid-air, effectively preventing any damage to ground targets. The situation remains tense as the area continues to stay on high alert, with security forces vigilantly monitoring potential threats.
Reports suggest that intense shelling was reported in the Jaisalmer area, with several drones and missile strikes being intercepted before they could reach their intended destinations. India’s air safety systems have played a crucial role in neutralising these aerial threats, preventing any significant escalation of the situation.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma convened a high-level meeting at his residence on Thursday evening to assess the situation at the border, which has been rapidly deteriorating amid growing tensions. The meeting was attended by senior officials, including the Chief Secretary, Home Secretary, Director General of Police, DG Intelligence, and ADG Law and Order, according to sources. The government’s proactive approach highlights the urgency to handle the escalating threats in the region, with a focus on maintaining security and preparedness.
