KEY POINTS
- Joint operation by Indian Army & SoG (Awantipora) in Nadir village
- Heavy gunfight began after terrorists opened fire
- 1 terrorist killed, 1 injured so far; 2–3 terrorists believed to be hiding in a house
A new fight has started between terrorists and security forces in Nadir village, Tral, which is in the Pulwama district of South Kashmir. The operation is being carried out together by the Special Operations Group (SoG) from Awantipora and the Indian Army. It began after intelligence agencies gave information about the presence of terrorists in the area.
The Indian Army said, “Our troops noticed some suspicious movement. When they tried to check, the terrorists started firing heavily, and a serious gunfight began.” According to early reports, two to three terrorists are likely hiding inside a house in the village. A heavy exchange of gunfire is going on between the terrorists and security forces. As per the latest updates, one terrorist has been killed and another has been injured during the ongoing operation.
The joint security forces have closed all entry and exit points in the area to stop the terrorists from running away. The whole area has been sealed off. Security forces have also started a large search operation in the Bhaga area of Reasi district. This happened after local people reported seeing some suspicious movement. Three terrorists were killed in a fight with security forces in Shopian, Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday. The fight first started in Kulgam, but the terrorists then moved into a forest area in Shopian. The Army and paramilitary forces have been fighting the terrorists for about two hours.
In a major show of strength, India’s air defence systems successfully neutralised a massive attack by Pakistan on May 8, 2025. Using the powerful S-400 Triumf and the indigenous Akash missile systems, India intercepted drones and missiles aimed at 15 military bases and several major cities.
Barak 8: India-Israel Partnership in Action
Developed jointly by India’s DRDO and Israel Aerospace Industries, the Barak 8 missile is designed for medium-range threats. With a range of up to 100 km and a top speed of Mach 2, it can be launched from land or sea. On May 10, 2025, the Barak 8 system intercepted Pakistan’s Fatah-II ballistic missile in Haryana’s Sirsa district. Its fast response time and high accuracy make it a key part of India’s defence wall.
In early May 2025, India found itself under aerial attack. Pakistani drones, missiles, and loitering munitions came swarming across the border, targeting northern India after India launched a bold pre-emptive operation called Operation Sindoor.
A Multi-Layered Shield That Worked Perfectly
The success wasn’t an accident. India has spent years building a strong, multi-layered air defence grid that includes radars, missiles, electronic warfare systems, and real-time command networks. This setup is run through two powerful systems: the Integrated Air Command and Control System (IACCS) managed by the Indian Air Force, and the Akashteer network operated by the Indian Army. Together, they make sure the Army, Air Force, and Navy work together with a clear, real-time view of the sky.
Long-Range Guardians (S-400 and Future Kusha Missiles)
The outermost ring is guarded by the S-400 Triumf, known in India as the Sudarshan Chakra. It is India’s most powerful air defence missile system to date. With a range of up to 400 km (although engagements typically happen at 60–100 km), it can destroy fighter jets, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles even before they come close.
