NEW DELHI: Multiple explosions were heard at several Pakistani air bases early on Saturday morning. According to reports, blasts also happened in Rawalpindi - which is Pakistan's military headquarters. Pakistan's army spokesman claimed that India had fired missiles at 3 of their air bases. The army spokesman said the missiles fired by India targeted the Nur Khan air base in the garrison city of Rawalpindi, Murid air base in Chakwal city and Rafiqui air base in the Jhang district in the eastern Punjab province. He also claimed that most of the missiles have been intercepted.
For the last two nights, Pakistan had been launching failed drone attacks across the border targeting Indian cities. Pakistan had used civilian planes as shield to carry out air incursions. However, Indian defence systems successfully countered all Pakistani drones.
On Friday night, Pakistani drones were spotted at 26 locations ranging from Baramulla in the north to Bhuj in the south, along both the International Border and the Line of Control (LoC) on Friday. An armed Pakistani drone targeted a civilian area in Punjab's Ferozpur, severely injuring members of a local family.
The drones were suspected to be armed and pose potential threats to both civilian and military targets. The locations where drones were spotted include Baramulla, Srinagar, Avantipora, Nagrota, Jammu, Ferozpur, Pathankot, Fazilka, Lalgarh Jatta, Jaisalmer, Barmer, Bhuj, Kuarbet, and Lakhi Nala.
Indian Army retaliated strongly in the Jammu sector in response to the drone attacks on Indian cities by the Pakistan Army along the Line of Control (LoC) and International Border (IB), Defence Sources said on Saturday.
On the night of May 8-9 also, the Pakistan Army violated Indian airspace multiple times along the entire Western border with the intention of targeting military infrastructure.
Foreign secretary Vikram Misri had on Friday said: "Pakistan's provocative and escalatory actions on Thursday night were targeted at Indian cities and civilian infrastructure in addition to some military targets and the Indian Armed Forces responded "proportionately, adequately, and responsibly."
