India Pakistan War BREAKING: All petrol pumps in Islamabad closed for 48 hours, authorities on high alert

India-Pakistan War: Amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, Islamabad has decided to close all petrol pumps for 48 hours.  This comes after brave Indian Air Force targeted three Pakistani airbases — Nur Khan in Rawalpindi, Murid in Chakwal, and Rafiqui in Jhang — in an overnight attack. On Friday, Pakistani drones were sighted in 26 locations across many areas in Indian states. India said the drones were tracked and engaged. The confirmation of the Indian attacks on the three airbases comes just hours after Pakistan military spokesperson Lt Gen Ahmad Sharif Chaudhry made the claims during a press briefing early Saturday.

Pakistan closed its airspace to all flights between 3:15 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. local time on May 10, 2025, the Civil Aviation Authority announced Saturday. Several cities across Jammu and Kashmir, including Srinagar, Jammu, Rajouri and others woke up to loud explosions on Saturday morning amid shelling by Pakistan.

The group of seven (G7) countries have urged India and Pakistan to show maximum restraint and engage in direct dialogue. The statement also condemned the April 22 terror attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam that killed 26 people, mostly tourists. We, the G7 Foreign Ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States of America and the High Representative of the European Union, strongly condemn the egregious terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22 and urge maximum restraint from both India and Pakistan. Further military escalation poses a serious threat to regional stability. We are deeply concerned for the safety of civilians on both sides,” the statement read.

Rajouri’s Additional District Development Commissioner (ADDC) Raj Kumar Thappa died after his house was hit by Pakistani shelling on Saturday morning. Omar Abdullah also reacted to the calls of de-escalation between India and Pakistan by the international community. He said in a post on X, “I’m not sure how the “International Community” thinks the current tension in the subcontinent will be de-escalated when the IMF essentially reimburses Pakistan for all the ordnance it is using to devastate Poonch, Rajouri, Uri, Tangdhar & so many other places.”
