Pakistan is facing attacks not only from India but also from within its own territory, particularly from Balochistan. Before the shock of the Tuesday midnight strikes on nine terrorist bases in Pakistan could fade, a series of bomb blasts rocked the area near Lahore’s airport, causing widespread panic. Explosions occurred in Walton Airport, Gopal Nagar, and Naseerabad in Lahore. As a result, terrified residents fled their homes, and for a while, no one could comprehend what was happening.
Airport Shut Down
Pakistan has already closed the airport. Initially, people in the surrounding areas thought India might have launched another attack. However, while there is no clarity on who carried out these blasts, speculations suggest that Balochistan separatists may be responsible. The explosions, caused by bombs dropped from drones approximately five to six feet in length, triggered widespread fear among the public. No official statement has been made regarding who was behind the attack.
No Casualties Reported, But…
Although authorities claim no one was killed, reports indicate that some Pakistani soldiers lost their lives in the attack. However, Lahore police assert that no loss of life occurred due to the blasts. They stated that the airport was closed for security reasons, which prevented any casualties. Pakistani intelligence agencies are investigating to determine who was responsible for the attack. Bomb squads have reached the site and are collecting evidence. Full details of the incident are yet to emerge.
