Indian forces neutralised Pakistani attacks in the wake of the May 7 strikes on terrorist camps in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attack. "What made it challenging was the multi-domain nature of the threat, which ranged from slow-speed, low radar cross-section (RCS) drones to high-speed projectiles launched from stand-off distances," explained the sources, adding, "These threats simultaneously targeted the entire expanse of the western borders from Kutch to Srinagar and Awantipur."
