On Thursday morning, an explosion was heard in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore. This report was confirmed by Geo Network and a Reuters eyewitness. The incident occurred one day after India’s attacks on several locations in Pakistan, an action that has increased concerns about escalating military conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
In response to this situation, the Pakistan Airport Authority announced the temporary suspension of flight operations at Karachi, Lahore, and Sialkot airports. This decision was made following the increase in military tensions in the region.
According to the released statement, Lahore and Sialkot airports will remain inactive until 12 noon Thursday local time. Officials have not yet released more details about the explosion and its potential damage, and the situation in the region remains tense.
