India fires six ballistic missiles; explosion heard in Lahore

As tension between Pakistan and India continue to mount, New Delhi has fired six ballistic missiles, all of which have landed within its own borders.

According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General (DG) Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, India fired six ballistic missiles past Friday-Saturday midnight, which landed in its own territory.

Five of the missiles struck Amritsar whereas one landed in Adampur, it was reported.

“India is targeting Sikh localities,” the military spokesperson said during a late night presser, adding that it was shocking to see the neighbouring country was targeting its own cities.

He reiterated Pakistan’s support for the Sikh community and said that the country was strictly against targeting civilians regardless of their faith.

Meanwhile, an Indian drone was shot down by Pakistan’s armed forces in the Narang Mandi area of Punjab.

This is a developing story and there is no confirmation as to which of the incidents were the source of the explosion heard in different parts of Lahore.
