The Indian Army on Thursday confirmed that Pakistan Armed Forces launched multiple drone and munition attacks along the Western Border during the intervening night of May 8 and 9, 2025. The coordinated assault was accompanied by a spate of ceasefire violations (CFVs) along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir.

In a statement issued by the official Twitter handle of the Additional Directorate General of Public Information (ADG PI), the Indian Army stated that the attacks were “effectively repulsed” and a “befitting reply was given” to the CFVs.

The operations came under the umbrella of Operation Sindoor, India’s ongoing counter-terror and border security mission. The army reaffirmed its commitment to defending the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, adding, “All nefarious designs will be responded with force.”

Tensions between India and Pakistan have been escalating in recent days, following retaliatory strikes and multiple reports of cross-border hostilities.
