Panic in Pakistan: Army Troops Flee Cantonments After India's Fierce Retaliation

Indian Forces Destroy Over 50 Drones, Strike Multiple Pakistani Cities in Major Counteroffensive

Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated dramatically as India launched a powerful counteroffensive in response to an attempted drone attack by Pakistan. The failed aerial assault by Pakistan on 11 Indian cities has triggered a strong and strategic retaliation from India, resulting in widespread panic within Pakistani military ranks.

India Neutralizes Pakistan’s Drone Attack with Cutting-Edge Air Defense

Late Thursday night, Pakistan initiated a series of drone attacks targeting major Indian cities. However, India’s advanced air defense systems, including the S-400, L70 gun, ZU-23mm, and Air Defense Shilka System, swiftly intercepted and neutralized the threat. Indian forces successfully destroyed more than 50 drones, rendering the Pakistani operation completely ineffective.

Following the interception, India launched Operation Sindoor, a large-scale counterstrike targeting key Pakistani urban centers. Major cities such as Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi, Peshawar, Sialkot, and Muzaffarabad faced retaliatory action. The swift and coordinated response has left the Pakistani military and political leadership stunned.

Fear Grips Pakistani Military: Troops Abandon Cantonments

Reports from intelligence sources indicate that Pakistani soldiers and their families are fleeing military bases due to fears of further Indian strikes. The situation is particularly tense in Punjab and Sindh, where mass evacuations from military installations have reportedly begun. The fear of sudden attacks looms large, and the psychological impact on the Pakistani forces is evident.

Sources say that the Indian retaliation has severely shaken confidence in Pakistan’s military preparedness, leading to disorder in strategic locations. Several cantonments are reportedly being emptied amid rumors of potential targeted assaults by Indian forces.

India Issues Stern Warning to Pakistan

The Indian Army has accused Pakistan of launching drone and artillery attacks along the Western border and the Line of Control (LoC), violating ceasefire agreements multiple times. In a strong statement, the Indian military made it clear that every hostile act by Pakistan will receive a “decisive and fitting response.”

The army’s message was unambiguous: India will not tolerate aggression or provocation and is fully prepared to counter all threats—conventional or digital.
