DGMO Confirms All Pakistani Attacks Failed | 40 Soldiers Killed in Heavy LoC Fire Between May 7–10

In a major update on Operation Sindoor, DGMO Lt. General Rajiv Ghai revealed that Pakistan launched repeated wave-style air attacks targeting Indian airfields and supply dumps between May 7 and May 10. All attacks were successfully thwarted by India’s integrated air defence systems.
