The Strike on Chagai

The night was still, and the air over Chagai Hills in Balochistan was still and tense of what was about to happen.

Ajay Singh crouched low, feeling the rough gravel beneath his palms as his team of R&AW operatives prepared for the most critical operation of their lives.

They had trained for months, but tonight wasn't about training, it was about execution.

Every man here knew that failure wasn't an option. They were about to strike at the very core of Pakistan's nuclear ambitions.

The Chagai Hills nuclear research facility, hidden deep in the mountains, was the heart of Pakistan's secret nuclear program.

For weeks, the world had been watching, guessing, and fearing.

But only India knew exactly what was being built here, and it had to be stopped, tonight.

Ajay's radio crackled. Ravi, the tech expert, whispered, "Power grid... going down in three, two, one... blackout."

The facility's lights flickered, then vanished into darkness.
