Pakistan says shot down 25 drones, India says it pushed back Pakistani retaliation

On May 8, 2025, Pakistan said it shot down 25 Indian drones across multiple cities, including Lahore and Rawalpindi, amid escalating air exchanges.
The drone attacks followed Indian missile strikes on Pakistani sites linked to terrorism, which killed at least 31 civilians and sparked retaliatory threats.
India claimed its air defenses neutralized Pakistani drone and missile attacks targeting military locations, while India launched drone strikes damaging a military site near Lahore.
Pakistan’s Defence Minister said Pakistani forces had shot down 25 drones and wounded Indian soldiers, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif vowed to “avenge each drop of blood of these martyrs.”
The intense clashes have raised fears of wider conflict between these nuclear-armed neighbors, prompting evacuations near the heavily militarized Kashmir border and calls for calm by world powers.
