Pakistan launched several Byker YIHA III Kamikaze drones towards Amritsar, Punjab.
The Indian Army's Air Defence (AAD) successfully shot down the drones before they could hit civilian areas.
The AAD's quick response prevented any damage to civilian property or casualties.
Pakistan also used drones, fighter jets, and long-range weapons to target civilian and military sites along the border..
The drones carried explosive payloads, aiming to cause maximum damage, which was described as a new low in Pakistan's actions.
India's layered air-defence system, including radars and sensors, effectively neutralized the threat.
Wreckage of some of the drones shot down was found in various locations.
