Pakistani officials stated that India launched multiple Israeli-made Harop drones into their territory overnight and into Thursday. According to a spokesperson, one drone struck a military site, injuring four soldiers.

Pakistani forces claim to have shot down 25 of these drones, according to army spokesperson Lt. Gen. Ahmad Sharif, who spoke to The Associated Press. Debris from one of the downed drones reportedly landed in the Sindh province, resulting in the death of one civilian and injuries to another.

Sharif added that a drone caused damage to a military site near Lahore, wounding four soldiers, and another drone crashed near Rawalpindi, close to the capital.

Sharif stated on state-run Pakistan Television early Thursday afternoon that the armed forces were actively “neutralizing” the drones, the outlet reported.

The Indian government countered on Thursday, stating that “Pakistan attempted to engage a number of military targets in Northern and Western India… using drones and missiles” overnight.

India claimed that these attacks “were neutralized by the Integrated Counter UAS Grid and Air Defense systems” and that “the debris of these attacks is now being recovered from a number of locations that prove the Pakistani attacks.”

India further alleged that its armed forces “targeted Air Defense Radars and systems at a number of locations in Pakistan” that morning, adding that “it has been reliably learnt that an Air Defense system at Lahore has been neutralized.”

The Indian government also stated that “Pakistan has increased the intensity of its unprovoked firing across the Line of Control using Mortars and heavy calibre Artillery in areas in Kupwara, Baramulla, Uri, Poonch, Mendhar and Rajouri sectors in Jammu and Kashmir,” also noting that “Sixteen innocent lives have been lost, including three women and five children, due to Pakistani firing. Here too, India was compelled to respond to bring Mortar and Artillery fire from Pakistan to a halt.”

India and Pakistan are nuclear powers, which heightens global concern regarding their ongoing tensions.

President commented on Wednesday, expressing his desire for the conflict to “stop” and offering his assistance, stating, “if I can do anything to help … I will be there.”

Several U.S. lawmakers have also commented on the situation between India and Pakistan.

U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., issued a statement on Wednesday, urging “Indian and Pakistani leaders to find a path towards de-escalation, and to ensure accountability for those responsible for the horrific April 22 terrorist attack in Kashmir. For the sake of innocent civilians in India and Pakistan—now is the time to lean into diplomacy.”
