Srinagar, May 9: Drone attacks on Srinagar airport and south Kashmir’s Awantipora air base were thwarted late on Friday, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The attempted attack came a day after India thwarted attempts by the Pakistan military to attack Indian military installations using drones and missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drones were also sighted in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district, officials said, adding that countermeasures had been initiated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sky was lit up in Baramulla district as the Indian military shot down Pakistani drones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier in the evening, blasts were heard and sirens sounded in the Jammu region and south Kashmir as many parts of Jammu and Kashmir plunged into darkness, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Defence officials said drones were also sighted in Jammu, Samba and neighbouring Pathankot district in Punjab and they were being engaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Srinagar, mosque loudspeakers were used to convey to locals to switch off their lights as a precautionary measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The officials said drones were also engaged in Udhampur and Nagrota of Jammu and Punjab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.\u2013(PTI)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
