The Pakistani attack, which focused especially on military installations in Jammu, Pathankot and Udhampur, came hours after India said it had targeted air defence radars and systems at a number of locations in Pakistan and “neutralised” an air defence system in Lahore.

Following the attack, the blackout in Jodhpur, originally scheduled to begin at midnight, was implemented immediately. Blackouts were enforced in Barmer, Sriganganagar, and Phalodi also.
