In Rawalpindi, two powerful explosions were heard in the Saddar area, with the sounds of the blasts reaching as far as Islamabad.
Sources confirmed that the explosions were heard near the Nur Khan Airbase, prompting emergency sirens to sound in the area. Local residents swiftly responded by turning off their lights, following emergency protocols. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the blasts, but the nature of the explosions remains unclear.
In an important development, Pakistan’s military forces reportedly downed an Indian reconnaissance drone in the region. Law enforcement agencies quickly arrived at the scene, securing the area and launching investigations into the incident.
Meanwhile, in Lahore, loud explosions and gunfire were reported near Bediaan Road and DHA, particularly around the Noorpur village. Eyewitnesses described the blasts as intense, signaling a possible escalation in the region.
Security sources indicate that tensions remain high in Lahore’s border areas, and these events could be a response to Indian provocations. However, authorities have confirmed that no casualties or significant damage have been reported at this time.
