The Indian Air Force jammed Pakistan’s Chinese-made air defence systems to carry out precision strikes on terror and military targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir from May 7 to 10 under Operation Sindoor.

The neighbors have been in conflict over the disputed border region since their independence and partition in 1947.
