Amid rising hostilities, Pakistan claims India launched missile strikes on three of its airbases, prompting retaliatory attacks under “Operation Banyan Marsus.” Both nations report overnight assaults, pushing the region closer to full-scale conflict.
In response to India’s alleged “Operation Sindoor,” Pakistan has launched “Operation Banyan Marsus,” according to BBC. Pakistan’s state-run media and military PR wing claimed that Indian missiles struck three of its airbases early Saturday morning.
Explosions were heard around 5:45 AM in several Pakistani cities, including Rawalpindi and Islamabad, resulting in a complete blackout in affected areas. The Pakistan military, however, claims no damage to its air force infrastructure.
Meanwhile, the Indian Ministry of Defence reported sightings of suspected armed drones across northern and western states. In Punjab’s Firozpur, one such drone allegedly injured several civilians.
In a significant escalation, India has halted all civilian flights from 32 airports, while Pakistan shut down its airspace entirely from early morning to noon.
Both countries accused each other of initiating attacks late Friday night, further deteriorating bilateral relations and raising global concerns over regional stability.
