Pakistan targets Indian military installation, India neutralises Pak. India's Operation Sindoor avenging the shocking act of terrorists targeting&nbsp; the tourists, singling Hindus and shooting them in cold blood, sent shivers down the spines of the Pakistan army and military establishment.
Today, Pakistan tried to attack India's military installations targeting 15 areas&nbsp; in Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Adampur, Bhatinda, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai, and Bhuj, using drones and missiles. However, India foiled the attempt and neutralised Pakistan by&nbsp; the Integrated Counter UAS Grid and the Russia-made S-400 'Sudarshan Chakra' air defence systems.
The S-400 air defence system can track aerial threats up to 600 km away and intercept fighter jets, ballistic missiles, and drones, making it a vital cog in India's security arsenal.
Pakistan got a huge shock when one drone crashed near Lahore, while 12 others were taken down close to Gujranwala, Chakwal, Bahawalpur, Miano, Karachi, Chhor, Rawalpindi, and Attock.
Indian army targeted&nbsp; air defence radars at a number of locations in Pakistan and destroyed the system in Lahore on Thursday. Government of India later issued a presser stating "Indian armed forces targeted air defence radars and systems at a number of locations in Pakistan. The Indian response has been in the same domain with the same intensity as Pakistan. It has been reliably learnt that an air defence system at Lahore has been neutralised," the government said.
"The Indian armed forces reiterate their commitment to non-escalation, provided it is respected by the Pakistani military," the statement further said.

\r\nAirlines tried to cash in to the grief of people during Pahalgam attack. It is known that though Hindus are the majority in the country, they always get the second or even the third class treatment. During Hindu festivals like Sankranti, Dasara etc, Railways, Public and Private Buses and Airlines double the prices and make merry looting the people.\r\nHindus silently pay as they have to go to their native places to celebrate festivals with their near and dear ones. Even during the Mahakumbh Mela, airlines, buses and railways looted people by increasing the charges by four to five times. But what shocked all is, the airlines did the same during Pahalgam attack in Kashmir.\r\nWhen terrorists struck mercilessly singling out Hindus and shooting them point-blank and in the hour of grief and tragedy instead of helping the victims&rsquo; families, airlines increased the charges four times. It was left to the Civil Aviations Minister to step in and bring in sanity.\r\nTicket prices for a one-way economy seat from Srinagar to Delhi reportedly surged to â‚¹65,000, up from the usual â‚¹6,000-8,000. Flights to Mumbai and Bangalore followed suit, crossing â‚¹30,000 in many cases. These numbers weren\'t mere market fluctuations - they were a mirror of a morally dislocated algorithm.\r\nThis was in stark contrast when government offers subsidies to other religions for Haj and Jerusalem pilgrimage. Indian Government even stepped in and ran free flights to bring Indians struck during Gulf war and Japanese political turmoil.\r\n

Islamic terrorists targeted Hindus and butchered them in Pahalgam. Islamic terrorists from across the border with the support of the locals in Jammu and Kashmir targeted Hindus among the tourists and butchered them shooting them in cold blood. Even then few national and the entire International media turned a blind eye to this shocking fact and started trivialising the matter.

&nbsp;

Instead of calling them terrorists, many ran headlines like gunmen, mercenaries etc and toned down the intensity by diluting the fact that Hindus were targeted specifically. This shows the double standards of the media and buoyed with it, even many anti nationals and politicians started celebrating the Pahalgam attack sharing posts on social media.

Some even questioned the veracity in the stories of the victims when they recounted how the terrorists asked them to identify their names by religion, asked them to recite Kalma and also confirm by stripping their pants to confirm that they were non Muslims and they were Hindus.

A family member recounted "They said 'Chaudhari tu bahar aa ja'"&nbsp; She continued "They then asked my father to recite an Islamic verse (probably the Kalma). When he failed to do so, they pumped three bullets into him, one on the head, one behind the ear and another in the back,"

A survivor recollected &ldquo;We had just reached Mini Switzerland when the firing had started. It happened twice, and after the second shot, everyone started running. They surrounded us and asked the Hindu men to separate from the Muslim men. We were all silent and were hoping that they would go away. But everything just happened in a second. They watched all of them die. There was nothing I could do,&rdquo;

Another revealed &ldquo;There were 2-3 groups beside us. We saw the man asking the group something, and then he was shooting at them. At this, I panicked, and I told my father that the man was coming towards us. My father was calm, and he said let&rsquo;s see what happens. The man came towards us and said &lsquo;Kalma&rsquo;. When we said we didn't understand what he was saying, the man shot my father."

Investigation by the NIA, and police revealed that the trousers of around 20 victims were unzipped or pulled down. The revelation confirms that the terrorists first confirmed the religion of the victims by checking if they are circumcised or not before killing them.

The Champions Trophy 2025 is played today at Dubai and Men In Blue led by Rohit Sharma locked horns with Kiwis captained by Michael Santner. It is known that ever since India started winning the matches comfortably in Dubai, various teams, commentators and former players from other countries talked about India getting undue advantage due to ICC scheduling after India's refusal to travel to Pakistan.
In the midst of all this, Rohit Sharma lost his 15th toss and equalled the record of West Indian legend Brian Lara. New Zealand started of in a sedate manner but never could really take off thanks to the iron like grip weilded by the spinners. New Zealand managed to scramble for 251 /7 in its allotted 50 overs. Among Indian bowlers Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav took two wickets apiece.
Rachin Ravindra threatened to take the match away continuing from the superlative century he scored against South Africa in the semi finals. However his innings was cutshort for Kuldeep Yadav for 37. Daryl Mitchell along with Glen Phillips steadied the Kiwi ship with Mitchell scoring 63 before falling while trying to accelerate the score. Phillips scored 34. It was left to a late surge from bracewell who scored an unbeaten 53 (40) to provide some respectability&nbsp; to New Zealand total.
India started the change confidently with Rohit Sharma decided to take on the bowlers early. Gill played the second fiddle scoring 31 and when everyone thought India was cruising, Glen Phillips took a blinder to send Gill to the pavilion. Then everyone got a huge shock when Bracewell trapped chase master Kohli for just 1 run in front of the wicket.&nbsp;
New Zealand spinners bowled tightly and runs dried up. They had a last laugh when Rachin Ravindra had Rohit Sharma for 76(83). Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel played in a calm and sedate manner and when everything looked going for India, Iyer who had a reprieve&nbsp; couldn't capitalise on it and got out for 48. Axar Patel played an irresponsible shot to get out for 29.&nbsp;
However, ever dependable KL. Rahul along with Hardik Pandya eased the tensions among fans and dressing room by scoring the winning runs. Rahul scored an unbeaten 34(33).&nbsp;
Mitchel Santner and Michael Bracewell scalped two wickets each while Ravindra was economical. Finally, India won the Champions Trophy after 13 years.
