Tensions Escalate: Drone Attacks Heighten India-Pakistan Conflict

Pakistan accuses India of launching a series of drone attacks resulting in fatalities and injuries. India counters by citing foiled Pakistani military attempts. The ongoing tensions prompt emergency measures, school closures, and heightened military readiness, impacting civilian and governmental operations across Punjab and adjoining areas.

Tensions between India and Pakistan soared as Pakistan accused India of launching multiple drone attacks, resulting in three deaths and eight injuries, including army personnel, according to the Pakistan Army.

In response, Indian officials claimed to have thwarted Pakistani attempts to strike various military targets, including an air defense system in Lahore. The situation has led to emergency measures in Punjab, school closures, and the issuance of a security alert by the US Consulate in Lahore.

The escalating conflict follows recent missile strikes by India on terror targets in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, as part of 'Operation Sindoor'. As both countries continue to clash, the political climate remains tense, with Pakistan warning of potential retaliatory measures.
