Kochi: Multiple explosions were heard in Pakistan’s Lahore city following which sirens went off as people ran out of their homes on Thursday, media reports said.
The incident comes a day after India struck terror camps in Pakistan, in an operation named ‘Sindoor’, in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives.
Blasts were heard in the Gopal Nagar and Naseerabad areas of Lahore near Walton Airport, India Today quoted locals saying.
Visuals showed people running out of their houses in panic and reported seeing clouds of smoke in the area adjoining Lahore’s posh central business district and the Lahore army cantonment.
Flight operations at Sialkot and Lahore airports have also been suspended.
The drone was reportedly shot down by jamming the system, the sources said.
No casualties or damage to civilian infrastructure have been reported so far.
A joint operation by the Army and the Indian Air Force (IAF) destroyed terror camps in nine locations in Pakistan linked to banned outfits Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) under ‘Operation Sindoor’ in a pre dawn attack.
The IAF carried out air-to-surface missile attacks using Rafale jets while Army simultaneously launched surface-to-surface missiles, sources said. The precision strikes killed 80-90 terrorists in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, sources said.
