Jammu bathed in darkness; booming noises echo
The curtain fell early on May 7 over Jammu, with a carefully orchestrated attack by India utilizing long-range precision weapons. The operation, code-named 'Sindoor', left nine key sites in the disputed Pakistan-occupied territory (PoK) and deep on Pakistani soil in ruins, wiping out over a hundred terrorists in a series of midnight raids[1]. The operation serves as retribution for the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed the lives of 26 innocents. As the battlefield drama unfolds, accurate casualty numbers are difficult to ascertain, with sources suggesting the death toll may be between 120-130 terrorists[1].

Amid the blackout, several explosions echoed across Jammu, potentially the result of intense artillery shelling or missile strikes from Pakistan in response to Indian operations[6].

The blackouts and explosions sparked panic among locals, and authorities advised residents to shelter at home and refrain from spreading unconfirmed rumors[6]. The ongoing skirmishes between India and Pakistan demonstrate a persistent volatility in the region[6].
