Pak Army targets military stations at Jammu, Pathankot, Udhampur: MoD

Jammu, May 8: Pakistan Army Thursday made a failed attempt to attack multiple targets at Satwari, R S Pura, Arnia in Jammu district and in Samba district.

It also made futile attempts to target military stations at Jammu, Pathankot and Udhampur.

The Ministry of Defence, in a late night post on its official X handle, stated that military stations at Jammu, Pathankot and Udhampur were targeted by Pakistani-origin drones and missiles along the International Border in J&K today.

“The threats were swiftly neutralised using kinetic and non-kinetic capabilities in line with established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). No casualties or material losses were reported. India remains fully prepared to defend its sovereignty and ensure the safety of its people,” the MoD post added.

Earlier defence sources stated, “Eight missiles from Pakistan directed at Satwari, Samba, RS Pura and Arnia. However, all were intercepted and blocked by Air Defence Units.”

“Visuals over Jammu remind of exactly Hamas style attack on Israel using multiple cheap rockets. It seems that Pak Army is operating and behaving like a terror organisation Hamas. Last month ISI officials had met Hamas representatives in PoK,” sources said. Attacks were made at around 8. 15 pm. This was immediately followed up by blackout across Jammu and adjoining areas, leading to some kind of panic and rumour mongering.

Meanwhile, the Police have asked all citizens to switch off all types of lights during black out period.

“Stay indoors, at safe places. No unnecessary vehicular movement should be taken. There is no need for panic. Authorities will have the situation under control. We request everyone not to spread rumours or unverified information, as it can create unnecessary panic,” Police advisory said.

Power supply was resumed in many areas of Jammu briefly at around 10.07 pm. However, there was a blackout yet again after five minutes or so. It was later resumed at 10.40 pm.
