Ten blasts were reported near Srinagar International Airport in India-administered Kashmir as tensions between India and Pakistan continue to escalate, prompting global concern over a potential wider conflict.
Officials say at least ten explosions were heard near Srinagar International Airport in the India-administered region of Kashmir on Friday, amid a sharp rise in hostilities between India and Pakistan.
The blasts were preceded by widespread blackouts and sightings of multiple projectiles in the skies above Jammu city, while explosions were also reported in Amritsar, Punjab. Indian military sources said drones had been spotted and were being “engaged.”
The developments come in the wake of India’s missile strikes on Wednesday targeting what it called “terrorist infrastructure” in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
Pakistan has denied any role in that incident and maintains the sites targeted by India were not militant bases. Since Wednesday’s airstrikes, approximately 48 people have been reported killed on both sides of the Line of Control, though independent verification remains difficult.
The surge in violence has led India to suspend its top sporting event, the Indian Premier League, while Pakistan has relocated the rest of its Super League cricket tournament to the UAE.
Meanwhile, the United States has expressed concern, with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stating that Washington is in constant communication with both governments in a bid to prevent further escalation.
