“Our forces remained forward deployed in the Northern Arabian Sea in a decisive and deterrent posture with full readiness and capacity to strike select targets at sea and on land, including Karachi, at a time of our choosing. The forward deployment of the Indian Navy compelled Pakistani naval and air units to be in a defensive posture, mostly inside harbours or very close to the coast, which we monitored continuously,” he endured.

He then knowledgeable concerning the reaction of India and mentioned, “In a measured and calibrated response, we once again targeted the military installations, surveillance radar sites at Lahore and Gujranwala… Drone attacks continued till morning, which we countered. While the drone attacks were being launched from somewhere closer to Lahore, the enemy had allowed their civilian aircraft also to continue to fly out of Lahore, not only their aircrafts but also international passenger aircrafts, which is quite insensitive, and we had to exercise extreme caution.”

10- DGMO Ghai Added Details Of Pakistani Drone Attacks From 10 May

“We also carried out deployment to include movement of our forces in the land, sea, and air domains. The night of the 9-10 May saw similar intrusions by drones and aircraft, and this time there was a concerted effort to target airfields and some very, very important logistic installations, albeit yet again unsuccessful and denied gallantly and efficiently by the integrated Indian Air Force and Indian Army air defence…”

On Saturday, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri showed that Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations contacted his Indian counterpart, and either side agreed to halt all army movements on land, sea, and air.
