A crucial input about Pakistan’s coordinated drone assault on May 7 night triggered India’s swift and strategic counterattack. In this detailed news explainer, Vinay Gond and Vinayak decode how India’s Integrated Counter‑UAS Grid, Air Defence Systems, and Harpy drones defended multiple targets across the north and west from Awantipora to Bhuj. In retaliation, India targeted and neutralised Pakistan’s air defence system in Lahore, marking a bold escalation. Meanwhile, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh revealed that 100 terrorists were eliminated in 9 precision airstrikes under Operation Sindoor, a direct response to the Pahalgam terror attack. As tensions rise on the LoC, especially in Poonch, where 16 civilians including 5 children have died in unprovoked firing, Vinay and Vinayak break down the full scope of the military, political, and humanitarian dimensions of this rapidly evolving conflict.
