India Pakistan war: Pakistan announces emergency in Karachi, Lahore and Sialkot; Check full list

India Pakistan war: In a major update amid the India-Pakistan war, the Pakistani Army has announced emergency in Karachi, Lahore and Sialkot, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Bhawalpur.

India on Thursday night swiftly thwarted Pakistan’s fresh attempts to strike military sites with drones and missiles including in Jammu and Pathankot after foiling similar bids at 15 places in northern and western regions of the country, as tensions soared between the two countries amid fears of a wider conflict.

The renewed attempts and intense shelling by the Pakistani forces on the Line of Control(LoC) and the International Border(IB) in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab and Rajasthan came after India on Thursday morning targeted Pakistani air defence systems at multiple cities with one in Lahore being “neutralised”.

The Indian armed forces on Wednesday had carried out precise missile strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Pakistan under ‘Operation Sindoor’.

As the Ministry of Defence(MoD) reiterated that any attack on military sites in India will invite a “suitable response”, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said Pakistan only can decide if it wants to de-escalate tensions with India as New Delhi responded to the “original escalation” triggered by the Pahalgam massacre.
