Pakistan has reportedly launched a significant cyber attack on India's electricity grid, disabling 70% of it and causing widespread blackouts across the nation. The attack, named Operation Bunyan ul Marsoos, was confirmed by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) of Pakistan, leading to darkness engulfing the nation. The cyber offensive targeted multiple sectors, including the energy sector with 10 SCADA systems, 1,744 web servers which were destroyed and had their data wiped, wind mills, consumer electricity portals, and the complete ICT infrastructure of the Indian Railway, Delhi Gas Discom, and Kashmir. Additionally, military surveillance systems in India were also compromised.
