A soldier lost his life when he was hit by a fragment of a Pakistani drone, which was successfully intercepted by the Indian Army Air Defence at an air base in Jammu and Kashmir's Udhampur district on Saturday, officials said. The soldier was on duty at the Udhampur air base, which came under Pakistani drone attack earlier during the day.

The incident took place before the announcement of a ceasefire by India and Pakistan to end their combat activities, which have intensified after the Indian armed forces carried out a missile strike on nine terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Jammu and Kashmir on 7 May in retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack, they said. 


Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma paid rich tributes to the fallen soldier and expressed sympathies with his family. 

 

“The news of the martyrdom of Shri Surendra Singh Moga ji, a son of Rajasthan, a resident of Jhunjhunu, a soldier of the Indian Army, who attained martyrdom at Udhampur Air Base while performing his duty of national security is extremely sad,” he wrote on X.
