Tensions escalated between Pakistan and India as security sources reported that Indian forces targeted innocent Pakistani civilians during a night-time assault. In response, Pakistan has launched retaliatory action, sources confirmed.
Loud explosions were also heard in the Muridke area, with initial reports suggesting at least three blasts.
Condemning the attack, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif called it a cowardly act. "Cowards attempted a strike from the shadows. India attacked in the dark, but our response will be stronger and louder," he stated.
"Come face us in the field if you have the courage — then let’s settle it man to man," said the defence minister Khawaja Asif, challenging the Indian side.
He further added, "They didn’t even have the courage to leave their homes. India deliberately targeted civilians in these strikes."
The situation remains tense as developments continue to unfold.
