**Headline:** Total Blackout Enforced in Gujarat’s Kutch and Banaskantha Districts Amid Escalating India-Pakistan Tensions
In response to increasing tensions between India and Pakistan, officials have implemented a total blackout in several areas of the border districts of Kutch and Banaskantha in Gujarat. This precautionary measure aims to prevent any potential offensive actions from Pakistan, particularly in light of recent military developments.
The blackout affects various towns in Kutch, including Bhuj, Nalia, Nakhatrana, and Gandhidham, as well as several villages in the bordering Suigam taluka of Banaskantha district. The decision was made to enhance security and deter any aggressive maneuvers.
Earlier on Thursday, wreckage of a drone-like object was discovered near Khavda village in Kutch, approximately 20 kilometers from the Indo-Pak border. The origin of the object remains unclear, with speculation about whether it was shot down or damaged after colliding with a power line.
Tensions have escalated significantly following missile strikes conducted by Indian armed forces on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) on Wednesday. These strikes targeted key locations associated with terrorist organizations, including Jaish-e-Mohammad in Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba in Muridke, as a response to a recent terror attack in Pahalgam.
As the situation develops, the enforced blackout serves as a critical measure to ensure the safety and security of the border regions.
