The deployment action, known to the public as Operation Starfire, will see 20,000 PDF personnel shift their operations to the region. This move was preceded by an anti-radiation attack on local military sensors, succesfully knocking out air surveillance and air defence radars. The Xiyu SSR People's government, which seconded the deployment, shall provide for the necessary logistical arrangements. The deployed force consists of the Gan Jun, alongside air superiority elements of the PDF Air Defence Force.

PDF personnel crossed the border into Free india- this morning, disarming outnumbered border checkpoints and securing a series of mountain roads. Clashes were reported in Gogra, Merak, Panamik, and Tegar, where forward elements of the PDF engaged pro-Patel forces in the FEUSSR's first high-altitude engagement in decades. The intense clashes saw the PDF dislodge Indian defensive positions through airstrikes and heavy artillery fire, prompting a slow withdrawal which lasted throughout the afternoon. Military police units within the expeditionary force performed door-to-door sweeps upon securing the villages by nightfall. 12 suspected pro-Patel sympathisers, along with local administrative staff, were detained.

The PDFGF has also confirmed the deployment of the 2nd Special Information Group (SIG), the PDF special force's cyberwarfare formation. It is currently involved in the hacking and taking down of websites, doxxing of high value targets, and the interception of communications to be used for the PDFGF's advantage. As of 2pm today, the 2SIG announced the launching of several successful DDOS attacks on major websites, including the Central Party's website and several Ministry-level sites. Other operations include the email spoofing of known Patel associates to deliver spam to over 5,000,000 email addresses located within Free india-.
