New Delhi: May 09 : Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday (May 9, 2025) carried out a comprehensive review of the national security scenario with the top military leadership, a day after Pakistan’s attempts to target Indian military installations were repelled.Every aspect of the evolving security situation was discussed in the meeting, it is learnt.

The meeting was attended by Chief of Defence Staff Gen Anil Chauhan, Army Chief Gen Upendra Dwivedi, Air Chief Marshal A P Singh, Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi and Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh.

India last night neutralised Pakistan military’s attempt to hit military stations in Jammu, Pathankot, Udhampur and some other locations with missiles and drones.

“Defence Minister Rajnath Singh chaired a high-level meeting to review the security situation along the western border and operational preparedness of the Indian armed forces,” a Defence Ministry spokesperson said.

After the Pakistani attempts were foiled last night, the defence ministry said India remains “fully prepared to defend its sovereignty and ensure the safety of its people.”

Indian military officials said the Pakistani drones and missiles were effectively engaged by Indian armed forces, and the attempts by the enemy were thwarted.

Pakistan’s fresh attempts to target Indian military installations came less than 24 hours after a similar attempt.

On Thursday afternoon, the Defence Ministry said Indian armed forces foiled Pakistan’s attempts to target military installations in 15 cities in the northern and western parts of the country using missiles and drones.

It said the Pakistani military attempted on Wednesday night to target Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Adampur, Bhatinda, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai, and Bhuj.

Defence Minister Singh on Thursday said no limit will become an obstacle to protect India’s sovereignty and the nation is fully prepared for such responses.

The Indian armed forces on early Wednesday carried out missile strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Pakistan under Operation Sindoor in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
