A series of blasts took place in two key cities of Pakistan on Thursday, first in Lahore, followed by Karachi, according to local media reports.
In Lahore, the largest city of Pakistan’s Punjab province, three blasts occurred on Walton Road this morning, which created panic among locals who rushed out of their residences for safety.
In Karachi, the sound of an explosion was heard in the Sharafi Goth area of Malir, according to reports.
Multiple Blasts Create Panic In Lahore
Panic gripped Lahore as three blasts took place in the city, bringing people out of their shelters looking for safety.
Visuals shared by the local media showed panic on the streets of Lahore, where people rushed out of their homes and gathered on the roads in fear. Clouds of smoke blanketed the sky in the city as three consecutive explosions were heard on Walton Road in the city.
The locals reported hearing two loud explosions near Askari 5 and smoke rising from the Naval College, according to Samaa TV.
Another explosion sound was heard in the area of Burki in Lahore earlier today, mmnews reported.
Earlier today, several air routes in Lahore and Sialkot were shut down temporarily for commercial flights due to border tensions. The two airports will not be available for use till 12 noon on Thursday.
Pakistan’s Fake Propaganda Against India
The developments came after India’s military action terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. As many as 4 terror targets, including the headquarters of Jaish-e-Mohammed in Bahawalpur (Pakistan’s Punjab province), were struck by Indian armed forces in Pakistan, while 5 targets were destroyed in PoK.
The Pakistani media has been spreading false propaganda ever since terror camps were destroyed by the Indian armed forces in response to the dastardly terror attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22.
Since Operation Sindoor, Pakistan has unleashed a massive disinformation campaign on social media and mainstream media. Old videos of attacks carried out elsewhere were posted as recent attacks in India by the Pakistani military. Several such videos also claimed that India targeted civilians instead of the terrorists.
India’s PIB exposed one lie after another with an extensive fact-check campaign, bursting Pakistan’s lies.
On Wednesday, the Indian government and armed forces held a joint press conference and said that terror camps were specifically hit in the strikes and no military or civilian sites had been touched, further describing the nature of the retaliation as “non-escalatory".
The government, however, warned Pakistan against any misadventure that may escalate the situation.
