Thu May 08 21:53:54 UTC 2025: ## India Repels Pakistani Attacks, Launches Retaliatory Actions After Pathankot Terror
**NEW DELHI** – India launched retaliatory actions against Pakistan on Thursday following a series of attacks targeting 15 locations across the country. The escalation stems from the April 22nd terror attack in Pathankot, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 26 people, mostly tourists.
Indian authorities reported thwarting Pakistani attempts to target multiple locations. The response included a naval operation, while heavy shelling was reported along the international border. Several cities in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, and Rajasthan experienced blackouts following the interception of Pakistani drones and reports of explosions. Airports nationwide are on high alert, and schools and colleges in border districts have been closed.
Earlier this week, India initiated “Operation Sindoor,” targeting nine terrorist bases deep inside Pakistani territory in response to a separate attack in Pahalgam. The Indian Army claimed the operation successfully destroyed these sites. The heightened tension between the two nations continues.
