India, Nov. 26 -- Hours after India launching Operation Sindoor, Pakistan unsuccessfully targeted India's Uri hydroelectric plant near the line of control(LOC) , but the attack was foiled and there was no damage, India's Central Industrial Security Force, responsible for protecting strategic installations said in a statement on Tuesday.

CISF's statement came in the context of its Director General's disc being awarded to 19 personnel on duty at the Uri Hydro Electric Power Projects (UHEP- I and II) that night, who neutralised drones targeting the installation and evacuated civilians amid gunfire from Pakistan.

The 19 personnel were awarded the prestigious DGs disc at a ceremony in CISF headquarters in New Delhi on Tuesday.
