Amid the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan, certain news sources alleged damage to India's S400 defense system, despite the fact that it has shown to be an effective weapon in responding to Pakistani drone and missile assaults following Operation Sindoor.

However, the Indian defence officials have cleared the air regarding the claims and have termed them as "baseless". "News reports of destruction or any damage to a S-400 system are baseless, fake news", defence officials said in their statement as reported by ANI.</p
