Pakistan’s Army has been asked to move to battle-ready positions in Lahore, according to sources, hours after India launched cross-border strikes targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) as part of ‘Operation Sindoor’.
Sources indicated that there were some reservations among Pakistan’s political class to carry on with the fight against India. Pakistani politician and PM’s Special Assistant Rana Sanaullah was earlier criticised for calling for a brief pause in fighting.
Earlier, CNN-News18 had reported that Army areas in Kasur, Bahalwnagar, Sialkot, Shekhuoura and Narwal of Punjab province had been vacated and people were asked to move back to safe places. Complete blackout was reported in several Army areas.

India launched a series of targeted precision strikes under ‘Operation Sindoor’ against terror camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) on the intervening night of Tuesday-Wednesday, in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22.
Nine terrorist infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir were targeted in the strikes. However, no Pakistani military facilities were hit, reflecting India’s calibrated and non-escalatory approach.
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif warned India that it will have to pay for the Operation Sindoor strikes on his country, claiming that the attack left 26 civilians dead. “We will exact revenge for every drop of Pakistani blood," he said during an address to the nation.
Sharif said terrorism has affected Pakistan the most and the citizens of the country should be united to fight the enemy. He called India’s move to strike terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) “speculation that their mission is about eradicating terrorism".
The precision strikes took place two weeks after three terrorists – two of them from Pakistan and linked to an LeT affiliate – killed 26 people in a brazen attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam.
