A major Pakistani cyberattack has reportedly disabled power infrastructure across 70% of India, plunging vast regions into blackout. The cyber strike came shortly after both countries exchanged missile fire targeting each other’s airbases.

The situation rapidly intensified after India and Pakistan fired missiles at each other’s airbases in a significant military escalation. The missile exchange marked a dangerous new phase in the conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.

According to initial reports, the cyberattack targeted critical Indian power infrastructure, leading to widespread outages affecting major cities and states. Indian authorities have yet to release an official statement on the extent of the damage or recovery efforts.
