Gujarat Blackout:  A blackout has been declared with immediate effect in the entire Kutch district of Gujarat, and all citizens have been asked to strictly follow the orders. The move comes after several drones have been spotted in the district, announced Gujarat Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi in his official X handle.

The minister has also urged the citizens not to panic and stay safe.

The district magistrate in its official X handle wrote, "A blackout is declared in the entire Kutch district with immediate effect and all citizens are asked to strictly follow it."

Jammu's Udhampur was once again targeted by drone attacks just hours after India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire, according to ANI.

An incoming air raid alarm was issued in Rajasthan's Barmer, followed by the immediate implementation of a district-wide blackout. Gunshots were also reported in Baramulla and Budgam, Jammu & Kashmir.

Several districts across northern and western India experienced sudden power outages late Saturday night. Blackouts were reported in Punjab’s Firozpur, Gurdaspur, and Muktsar, along with Barmer and Jaisalmer in Rajasthan, and the Kutch region in Gujarat, as reported by Jagran.com.

These disruptions come amid rising tensions along the border, with reports of drone activity in some of these areas, raising concerns over a potential security breach and a violation of the recent ceasefire agreement with Pakistan.
