In a significant development, the Indian Armed Forces on Monday announced that they had successfully intercepted and neutralized a missile and multiple drones launched by Pakistan towards India. At a special press briefing, top officials from the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force said that the attack involved a Chinese-origin PL-15 missile and Turkish-made YIHA and Songar drones, all deployed by the Pakistan Armed Forces. The Indian defence systems acted swiftly, intercepting the missile mid-air and shooting down the drones before they could reach their targets. Air Marshal AK Bharti confirmed that the PL-15 missile missed its intended target and was taken down by India`s integrated air defence network. He appeared alongside Lt General Rajiv Ghai of the Indian Army and Vice Admiral AN Pramod of the Indian Navy, both of whom emphasized the joint effort and coordination among the services in thwarting the attempted strike. Responding to a question on whether India targeted Kirana Hills—an area suspected to host nuclear facilities in Pakistan—Air Marshal Bharti replied with a hint of sarcasm, saying, "Thank you for telling us that Kirana Hills houses some nuclear installation, we did not know about it. We have not hit Kirana Hills, whatever is there."
