Pakistan’s army spokesman, Lt. Gen. Ahmad Sharif, said an Indian drone attacked a military target near Lahore overnight, wounding four soldiers, while the country’s air defense system intercepted and shot down 12 Indian drones that entered Pakistani airspace at various locations.

India's action followed the deadly attack on tourists in Kashmir's Pahalgam a fortnight ago. As many as 26 people, mostly tourists, were gunned down by terrorists after asking about their religion.

People rushed out of their residences after multiple explosions were heard near Lahore’s Walton Road, GeoTv reported. There were reportedly at least two to three blasts.
