PM Modi Meets NSA Ajit Doval Following Pakistan's Attack In Jammu, Jaisalmer

Following Pakistan's attack in Jammu and Jaisalmer on May 8, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with National Security Adviser Ajit Doval to discuss India’s response, after India launched an attack on terror camps in Pakistan and PoK on May 7 following a terror attack in Pahalgam. India retaliated after Pakistan's unsuccessful attempts to breach Indian defenses, resulting in the downing of two Pakistani fighter jets, while External Affairs Minister Dr. S Jaishankar engaged with international counterparts to address the situation, and India launched a fresh attack destroying AWACS and targeting locations in Lahore and Sialkot. Blackouts were imposed in areas of Jammu, Punjab, and Rajasthan as the government monitored the situation and destroyed Pakistani drones.

After a terror attack in Pahalgam last month, the Indian military launched an attack on terror camps in Pakistan and PoK on the morning of May 7. Pakistan retaliated on the same day but was unsuccessful.


On May 8, Pakistan launched a fresh attack but failed to break India’s defence. The Indian military forces managed to take down two advanced Pakistani fighter jets - F16, JF17. Loud explosions were heard.

Soon after that, Prime Minister Modi called on Ajit Doval to discuss India’s response.

Meanwhile, several areas of Jammu, Punjab and Rajasthan are in blackout. The government is constantly monitoring the situation and has destroyed several drones that were sent by the Pakistan armed forces.

Dr S Jaishankar, the External Affairs Minister of India, confirmed that he spoke to US Secretary Marco Rubio, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas, and DPM and FM of Italy, Antonio Tajani.

“Spoke with US @SecRubio this evening. Deeply appreciate US commitment to work with India in the fight against terrorism. Underlined India’s targeted and measured response to cross-border terrorism. Will firmly counter any attempts at escalation,” Jaishankar tweeted.

India launched a fresh attack on Pakistan, reportedly destroying AWACS and firing missiles on various locations in Lahore and Sialkot. India also destroyed the defence system of Faisalabad.

The Indian Army hasn’t confirmed the development but a statement is expected soon. The MEA can also conduct a press briefing tomorrow, May 9, offering information on the latest attack.
