NEW DELHI (AFP): India's government said Thursday that Pakistan launched an overnight air attack using "drones and missiles", before New Delhi retaliated to destroy an air defence system in Lahore.
"Pakistan attempted to engage a number of military targets... using drones and missiles," India's defence ministry said in a statement, adding that "these were neutralised" by air defence systems.
