Several Pakistani military posts along the Line of Control (LoC) have been destroyed as Indian forces retaliated to cross-border firing by Pakistani troops in the wake of the heightened tensions between the two countries, said sources.
Pakistan resumed firing after India foiled missile and drone attacks by Islamabad after carrying out aerial strikes on terror camps deep inside Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK) as part of Operation Sindoor. At least 50 Pakistani drones were taken down, officials said.
The Indian Army retaliated effectively and neutralised several Pakistani posts from where the firing was being directed. It has shared the first-ever official visual of a Pakistani military post being destroyed across the Line of Control. Sources said anti-tank guided missiles were used to strike the military posts.
It is not known in which sector the video is from, but it signals that the Indian Army is giving an effective reply to the continuous ceasefire violations.

“Pakistan Armed Forces launched multiple attacks using drones and other munitions along the entire Western Border on the intervening night of 08 and 09 May 2025. Pak troops also resorted to numerous ceasefire violations (CFVs) along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir,” the Army said.
It said the drone attacks were effectively repulsed, and a “befitting reply” was given to the ceasefire violations by the Army. “Indian Army remains committed to safeguarding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Nation. All nefarious designs will be responded with force,” it added.
Earlier, the Army had said that the drones were aimed at the military stations in Jammu, Pathankot, and Udhampur, and all the threats were “swiftly neutralised”.
Meanwhile, India’s Border Security Force (BSF) foiled a major infiltration attempt across the border in the Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir.
A blackout was enforced across multiple cities near border areas due to anticipated aerial attacks amid heightened tensions with Pakistan. There was a power outage all night in Srinagar, Jammu, and several places in Punjab and Rajasthan. No damage or casualties have been reported from these places.
