Amid the military conflict between India and Pakistan, a suspicious metal object resembling parts of a missile was found at Behad village near the Chintpurni temple in Una district, officials said on Saturday. Two other suspicious objects resembling remains of a drone and a missile were also found at two places in the Indora area of Nurpur in Kangra district, they said. While the suspected remains of a drone shot down by the Indian Army was found at Damtal village near Pathankot, debris resembling missile parts were recovered from Jota village, police confirmed. Behad, located around 10 km from the famous Chintpurni temple, reverberated with the sound of an explosion at 1.30 am on Saturday amid a complete blackout in the region, the officials said. The village is adjacent to Punjab, which shares a 532-km border with Pakistan. There was no report of any loss of life or damage to property. India-Pakistan tensions: Police have cordoned off the area According to the officials, the locals spotted the object on Saturday morning and informed the police. Confirming the development, the district administration said in a statement that while a preliminary investigation suggested that the object was inactive, a team of experts was examining it. Pakistan tried to launch attacks in the northern region on Friday night and it seemed that the broken part of a defused rocket fell at Behad village, the officials said. Police have cordoned off the area and told the residents to remain alert and not go near such objects, if found, as they could cause damage. People in Hamirpur also spent a sleepless night after sounds of Army aircraft pierced through the area around 2 am on Saturday, with many residents turning off lights at their homes, the officials said. Hamirpur Deputy Commissioner Amarjeet Singh has directed all the departments to remain alert and be prepared for any emergency. He also urged people to avoid spreading misinformation on social media and be aware of AI-generated fake news and videos amid the ongoing India-Pakistan tensions.

10 May,2025 03:02 PM IST | Lucknow | PTIThe option to go nuclear is not on the cards right now, Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Saturday said as Indian and Pakistani militaries targeted each other's installations, escalating the already serious confrontations. "At the moment, the nuclear option is not on the cards. However, if the situation comes up, the 'watchers' will be affected as well," Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif told Geo News. "I am telling the world that this is not going to be confined to the region only, it could be much wider, this is destruction. Our options are being reduced considering the situation India is creating," Asif stated. Asif said that no meeting of the National Command Authority has been called. The NCA is responsible for making the operational decisions on Pakistan's nuclear weapons. Tensions between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan increased after the Indian armed forces on Wednesday conducted precision strikes targeting terror launchpads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack that had cross-border linkages. Pakistan launched a fresh wave of drone attacks targeting 26 locations in India, from Jammu and Kashmir to Gujarat, for the second night on Friday, with the Indian defence ministry saying the enemy's attempts to hit vital installations, including airports and air bases, were successfully thwarted. Pakistan, on early Saturday, claimed that its three air bases were targeted by Indian missiles and drones. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

10 May,2025 03:01 PM IST | Lahore | PTIOn Saturday, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, stated that the Maharashtra government has taken all necessary security precautions, reported news agency PTI. Further stressing the growing tensions, Chief Minister Fadnavis said, “Pakistan is a terrorist state. They have been supporting terrorism, but India won't stop. Under the leadership of PM Modi, our armed forces are giving a befitting response to Pakistan.” Following the April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attack, which claimed 26 lives, out of which 25 of them Indian and 1 from Nepal, in response to the attack India launched a counter-operation named ‘Operation Sindoor’. This mission targeted terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, where several attacks on India were reportedly planned and directed. As part of this operation, nearly nine militant camps have been destroyed by Indian forces. As the situation at the border deteriorates, several Indian states including Gujarat, Punjab, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and Jammu & Kashmir remain on high alert and have ramped up security measures. Meanwhile, across the border, Pakistan continues to carry out strikes on India. According to the Ministry of Defence, Pakistan has launched 26 retaliatory strikes across Indian territory. When asked about the security readiness measures in Maharashtra, Fadnavis said that a review meeting was held in Mumbai on Friday, reported PTI. Chief Minister Fadnavis made these comments while speaking to reporters in Alandi village, after taking darshan of Sant Dnyaneshwar. Speaking to reporters, he added, “All security precautions have been taken in the state in the wake of the current situation. Security information has been shared with district units, and resources are being made available.” Fadnavis also said that the police, Coast Guard, and Navy are on high alert mode across Maharashtra, and that all Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs) are being followed as per protocol, PTI reported. Meanwhile, the senior BJP leader brushed off questions regarding the possibility of the two factions of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) coming together. “You should ask this either to Supriya Sule (working president of NCP-SP) or Ajit Pawar (who heads the other NCP faction). Why are you making me ‘Begani Shaadi Mein Abdullah Diwana?’” he remarked, using a Hindi proverb to downplay the political question, according to PTI. (With inputs from PTI)
10 May,2025 03:00 PM IST | New Delhi | mid-day online correspondentThe Press Information Bureau (PIB) Fact Check unit has refuted claims that the Delhi-Mumbai airline route is temporarily closed, according to a report by news agency ANI. According to ANI, taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the PIB labelled the claim as “fake” and clarified that the Delhi-Mumbai airline route remains operational. Instead, it noted that the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has extended the temporary closure of 25 Air Traffic Service (ATS) route segments within the Delhi and Mumbai Flight Information Regions due to operational reasons. “It is being claimed that there is a temporary closure of services on the Delhi-Mumbai airline route. This claim is fake,” the PIB stated. “The Airports Authority of India has extended the temporary closure of 25 segments of Air Traffic Service (ATS) routes within the Delhi & Mumbai Flight Information Regions due to operational reasons,” the post added, reported ANI. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Defence reported that drones have been sighted at 26 locations along the International Border and Line of Control (LoC) with Pakistan. These sightings include suspected armed drones in sensitive regions such as Baramulla, Srinagar, Avantipora, Nagrota, Jammu, Ferozpur, Pathankot, Fazilka, Lalgarh Jatta, Jaisalmer, Barmer, Bhuj, Kuarbet, and Lakhi Nala, reported ANI. A particularly concerning incident occurred in Ferozpur, where an armed drone targeted a civilian area, resulting in injuries to a local family. The injured individuals have received medical attention, and the area has been sanitised by security personnel. In response, the Indian Armed Forces have heightened their alert level, actively tracking and engaging aerial threats using counter-drone systems. The Defence Ministry emphasized that while there is no immediate cause for panic, citizens, especially those in border areas, should stay indoors, avoid unnecessary movement, and follow all safety advisories issued by local authorities, reported ANI. In a significant escalation of tensions, sources told ANI that India carried out retaliatory strikes on at least four Pakistani air bases early Saturday morning.

China is willing to continue to play a constructive role to this end." This comes as tensions between the two countries continues to escalate. Pakistan carried out cross-border shelling on Saturday, causing significant damage to civilian areas in Jammu's Rajouri district and heightening fears among residents. A series of explosions damaged several houses and properties across the region, triggering panic among residents. India launched the retaliatory strikes immediately after Pakistan attacked 26 locations across India on Saturday, the sources told ANI. Intermittent firing is still going on at several places along the Line of Control (LoC). At least four airbases in Pakistan were hit by Indian strikes in the early hours of Saturday, top government sources said, as tensions between the two countries continue to escalate. Drones have been sighted at 26 locations along the International Border and LoC with Pakistan. These include suspected armed drones. The locations include Baramulla, Srinagar, Avantipora, Nagrota, Jammu, Ferozpur, Pathankot, Fazilka, Lalgarh Jatta, Jaisalmer, Barmer, Bhuj, Kuarbet and Lakhi Nala.

10 May,2025 12:43 PM IST | Beijing | ANIThe Pakistan Army has begun moving its troops towards forward areas, signalling possible offensive intentions following a spate of cross-border attacks on Indian territories and civilians including the use of kamikaze drones and shelling along the Line of Control (LoC) Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, addressing a press briefing on Saturday, confirmed the movement of Pakistani troops and described it as an indication of “offensive intent”. Singh reiterated that while India has responded proportionately to all hostile actions, it remains committed to de-escalation, provided Pakistan exercises reciprocal restraint. “Pakistan Army has been observed moving troops towards forward areas, indicating an offensive intent to further escalation,” Singh stated. “Indian Armed Forces remain in a high state of operational readiness, and all hostile actions have been effectively countered with proportionate responses. We reiterate our commitment to non-escalation, conditional upon restraint from the Pakistani side.” In what is being described as a “swift and calibrated response”, the Indian military carried out precision strikes on identified military targets in Pakistan. These retaliatory strikes reportedly hit four airbases across the border during the early hours of Saturday. The Indian military showed time stamped pictures to deny Pakistan's claims about air force stations and base destruction in India. "Indian armed forces remain in high state of operational readiness... all hostile actions have been effectively countered," Wing Commander Vyomika Singh told reporters. Singh also refuted Pakistan’s claims of destroying Indian defence systems, including the S-400 missile system and airfields at Suratgarh and Sirsa. “India unequivocally rejects these falsehoods being propagated by Pakistan in its ongoing misinformation campaign,” she said. Earlier in the day, India thwarted an aerial drone attack in Punjab’s Amritsar. Defence officials revealed that Pakistan had launched Byker YIHA III kamikaze drones targeting civilian populations and medical facilities in Srinagar, Avantipura and Udhampur. The drones were intercepted and destroyed mid-air by the Indian Army's Air Defence systems at approximately 5 a.m, ANI reports. “Pakistan launched Byker YIHA III Kamikaze drones in Amritsar, Punjab, endangering residential areas. The attempt was thwarted by Army Air Defence guns, and the drones were neutralised in the air,” said defence officials, according to ANI. Simultaneously, locals in Rajasthan’s Barmer district recovered debris believed to be from unidentified projectiles, lending further weight to reports of widespread and indiscriminate attacks on Indian soil. Tensions have been escalating since India launched Operation Sindoor earlier this week, in which Indian forces targeted nine terror infrastructures located in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. This operation, according to ANI, was a direct response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam. Pakistan’s retaliation involved attacks on 26 Indian locations and was followed by India’s airstrikes on multiple Pakistani airbases. Intermittent firing is reportedly still underway at several points along the LoC. (With inputs from ANI)
10 May,2025 12:42 PM IST | New Delhi | mid-day online correspondentScientists at the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) are currently engaged in the development of a humanoid robot intended for inclusion in frontline military operations, as stated by an official on Saturday. The Research and Development Establishment (Engineers), a key lab under the DRDO, is developing a machine that can carry out complex tasks under direct human command, aiming to reduce troop exposure in high-risk environments, the official said, reported PTI. S E Talole, group director at the Centre for Systems and Technologies for Advanced Robotics within the R&DE (Engineers), said the team has been engaged in the project for four years, reported PTI. "We've developed separate prototypes for the upper and lower body and have successfully achieved certain functions during internal trials," the group director said, adding that the humanoid will be able to function on tough terrains like jungles, reported news agency PTI. The robot was recently presented at the National Workshop on Advanced Legged Robotics in Pune. Currently in its advanced development phase, the team is focusing on refining the robot's ability to understand and execute operator commands. The system relies on three key components: actuators that generate movement like human muscles, sensors that collect real-time data from the surroundings, and control systems that interpret this information to guide actions. Talole stated, "One of the biggest challenges is ensuring the robot can carry out desired tasks smoothly, which requires mastering balance, rapid data processing, and ground-level execution," reported PTI. Researchers are concentrating on these aspects as they move towards completing the project by 2027, said Kiran Akella, a scientist leading the design team. DRDO officials said legged robots, both bipedal and quadrupedal, offer immense potential in defence and security and sectors like healthcare, domestic assistance, space exploration, and manufacturing. However, creating autonomous, efficient-legged robots comes with significant technological hurdles, DRDO officials stated, reported PTI. Scientists explained that the humanoid's upper body would feature lightweight arms with a spherical revolute joint configuration, offering 24 degrees of freedom, 7 in each arm, 4 in the gripper, and 2 in the head. The robot will be able to perform complex autonomous tasks with closed-loop gripping and manipulate objects by turning, pushing, pulling, sliding doors, opening valves, and overcoming obstacles, especially in high-risk environments, the scientists said, reported PTI. Both arms will work collaboratively to safely handle hazardous materials such as mines, explosives, and liquids. According to PTI, the system will operate seamlessly day or night, indoors or outdoors, and incorporate proprioceptive and exteroceptive sensors, data fusion capabilities, tactical sensing, and audio-visual perception. The humanoid biped will include features such as fall and push recovery, real-time map generation, autonomous navigation, and path planning through simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM), enabling it to carry out complex autonomous operations in challenging, high-risk environments.

10 May,2025 11:23 AM IST | New Delhi | mid-day online correspondentAmid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, the Ministries of Defence and External Affairs are scheduled to conduct a joint briefing on Saturday regarding Operation Sindoor. The press meet, according to ANI, will begin at 10:30 am and is expected to shed light on India’s recent military operations in response to Pakistani aggression. This development follows significant cross-border shelling by Pakistan early Saturday morning, which resulted in heavy damage to civilian infrastructure in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district. Among the casualties was a senior officer of the Jammu and Kashmir Administration Services, Raj Kumar Thappa. He was killed when his residence in Rajouri town was struck by a shell. Thappa had just the previous day been accompanying the Deputy Chief Minister on an official district tour and had participated in a virtual meeting chaired by the Chief Minister. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah expressed deep sorrow over Thappa’s passing. “We have lost a dedicated officer of the J&K Administration Services. Just yesterday he was on official duty, and today we have lost him to targeted shelling by Pakistan. I have no words to express my shock and sadness. May his soul rest in peace,” said Abdullah in an official statement. In response to Pakistan’s assault on 26 locations across India — which included suspected drone attacks — India launched retaliatory strikes in the early hours of Saturday. Indian forces targeted at least four Pakistani airbases, with ongoing intermittent firing still reported along several points of the Line of Control (LoC). The Ministry of Defence, in a detailed statement, confirmed that drones — including potentially armed ones — were observed at multiple sites along the International Border and LoC. These locations included Baramulla, Srinagar, Avantipora, Nagrota, Jammu, Ferozpur, Pathankot, Fazilka, Lalgarh Jatta, Jaisalmer, Barmer, Bhuj, Kuarbet and Lakhi Nala. Regrettably, a drone attack in Ferozpur resulted in civilian injuries when a family home was struck. The injured were given immediate medical attention, and the site was subsequently secured by security forces. The Defence Ministry added that all aerial threats are being vigilantly monitored and neutralised using counter-drone systems. “The Indian Armed Forces are maintaining a high state of alert. The situation remains under constant watch, and prompt action is being taken wherever necessary,” the statement said. (With inputs from ANI)
10 May,2025 10:37 AM IST | New Delhi | mid-day online correspondentPakistan launched a fresh wave of drone attacks targeting 26 locations -- from Jammu and Kashmir to Gujarat -- for the second night on Friday, with the defence ministry saying the enemy's attempts to hit vital installations, including airports and air bases, were successfully thwarted. Some members of a family were injured in the attack in Ferozpur, Punjab, the only known injuries in the attacks carried out after darkness fell. All the states that border Pakistan were under a blackout. The defence ministry said the situation was under "close and constant watch", and that there was no cause for panic. It said the Indian armed forces are maintaining a high state of alert, and all such aerial threats are being tracked and engaged using counter-drone systems. "Drones have been sighted at 26 locations along the International Border and Line of Control with Pakistan. These include suspected armed drones," a defence ministry spokesperson said. "The locations include Baramulla, Srinagar, Awantipora, Nagrota, Jammu, Ferozpur, Pathankot, Fazilka, Lalgarh Jatta, Jaisalmer, Barmer, Bhuj, Kuarbet and Lakhi Nala," he said. "Regrettably, an armed drone targeted a civilian area in Ferozpur, resulting in injuries to members of a local family," he said. The spokesperson said the injured have been provided medical assistance and the area has been sanitised by security forces. The situation is under close and constant watch and prompt action is being taken wherever necessary, the official added. The ministry advised citizens, especially in border areas, to remain indoors, limit unnecessary movement, and strictly follow safety instructions issued by local authorities. "While there is no need for panic, heightened vigilance and precaution are essential," the spokesperson said. The latest attempt to attack Indian installations came a day after India thwarted attempts by the Pakistan military to hit Indian military installations using drones and missiles. The sky was lit up in Baramulla district as the Indian military shot down Pakistani drones. Blasts were heard and sirens sounded in the Jammu region and south Kashmir as many parts of the Union Territory plunged into darkness, officials said. In Srinagar, mosque loudspeakers were used to convey to locals to switch off their lights as a precautionary measure. Officials said the drones were also engaged in Udhampur and Nagrota of Jammu and Kupwara in north Kashmir. Amid all this, heavy cross-border shelling was underway along the International Border in the Suchetgarh and Ramgarh sectors of Jammu and Samba districts. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, in a post on X, said, "Intermittent sounds of blasts, probably heavy artillery, can now be heard from where I am." He also posted a picture of the city in darkness with the caption: "Blackout in Jammu now. Sirens can be heard across the city." In another post, he said, "It's my earnest appeal to everyone in and around Jammu -- please stay off the streets, stay at home or at the nearest place you can comfortably stay at for the next few hours. Ignore rumours, don't spread unsubstantiated or unverified stories and we will get through this together." On Thursday evening, Indian air defence units intercepted at least eight missiles fired by Pakistan towards the border areas of Jammu, including the strategically important Jammu airport, defence sources had said. Likening the attack to the tactics used by Hamas, sources said all "cheap" rockets directed at the Jammu region were intercepted and neutralised by air defence units. The missiles were aimed at key locations, including Satwari (Jammu airport), Samba, RS Pura, and Arnia. A sudden power outage had plunged Jammu city into darkness following two loud explosions, likely resulting from the interception of the intruding drones. Immediately after, sirens were blared throughout the city, alerting residents to seek shelter. The aerial objects had attempted to strike the strategic Jammu airport and its surrounding areas, which house the army, air force, and paramilitary installations. Tension between the two neighbours soared after the Indian armed forces on Wednesday conducted precision strikes targeting terror launchpads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in response to the April 22 attack by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam in which 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed.
