Multiple explosions were reported in Rawalpindi and Lahore on Saturday morning, with security officials attributing the blasts to an attempted missile attack by India.
In a late-night press conference, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry stated that India had launched air-to-ground missiles targeting Pakistan’s Nur Khan Airbase, Mureed Base in Chakwal, and the Shorkot base. “All assets of the Pakistan Air Force are safe,” he assured, adding, “Now you wait for our response.”
Authorities remain on high alert as tensions escalate. Further details are awaited.
