Pakistan's armed forces launched multiple drone attacks along India's entire western border on the night of May 8 and into May 9, 2025, using 300 to 400 Turkish-made Asisguard Songar drones, according to the Indian Army. These drones targeted military installations across several states including Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Gujarat, in an attempt to infiltrate and target military infrastructure. The drones were used from Leh to Sir Creek, covering a vast area. The Indian Army effectively countered these attacks, shooting down 50 drones and neutralizing another 20 through both kinetic and non-kinetic means, including the use of the Akash missile defense system and the C-UAS system. Pakistan also fired heavy-caliber weapons along the Line of Control during these attacks, resulting in the deaths of 16 Indians, including a soldier. In response, the Indian military launched Operation Sindoor, targeting four Pakistani air defense sites and destroying one. The Indian government stated that the use of drones by Pakistan was a violation of the ceasefire agreement and highlighted the ongoing tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. Debris from downed drones was found in Amritsar.
