Pakistan's armed forces launched multiple attacks using drones and other munitions along the entire western border on the intervening night of May 8-9, which were "effectively repulsed", the Indian Army said on Friday.

Pakistani troops also resorted to "numerous ceasefire violations" along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian Army said in an early morning post on X. It also shared a short video clip along with the post, asserting that all nefarious designs will be responded to with force.

"#IndianArmy remains committed to safeguarding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Nation. All nefarious designs will be responded with force," the Army added.
