The attack is still in progress. Cellphone services are down.
Cellphone videos sent by locals show lights streaking across the sky, indicating interception of the missiles and drones by the Air Defence System of the Indian armed forces.
Kupwara, a town more tan 300 km away, and Pathankot experienced a similar situation. Most of the border area is now under blackout.
