A Jammu and Kashmir officer, Raj Kumar Thappa, was killed in Pakistani shelling targeting civilian areas. The attack follows India’s retaliation for Pahalgam attack. Pakistan’s aggression has led to heavy shelling and drone strikes in the region.
Powerful explosions were reported early Saturday across multiple Pakistan air bases, including a critical installation near the capital Islamabad, prompting the Pakistani government to shut down the country’s airspace to all civilian and commercial traffic.
India targeted three Pakistani airbases — Nur Khan in Rawalpindi, Murid in Chakwal, and Rafiqui in Jhang — in an overnight attack, hours after Pakistani drones were sighted in 26 locations across many areas in Indian states. Multiple explosions were also heard in Srinagar this morning, hours after India repelled Pakistani drone attacks.
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.
This escalation comes after India said it hit back at Pakistan on Friday night after repelling Pakistani drone strikes on 26 locations in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat. In an armed drone strike, three civilians were injured in Punjab’s Ferozepur town last night.
