Just a day after India launched Operation Sindoor against terror camps in Pakistan, multiple explosions were reported near Walton Airport in Lahore. The blasts were powerful enough to be heard from five kilometres away, with thick smoke seen billowing into the sky. The blast took place in DHA Phase 3 and 4 located in the 9km radius of the Walton Airport. Some local sources and social media posts have claimed it to be a missile attack. The incident occurred amid rising tensions following India’s Operation Sindoor, which has further increased public interest. However, there is no official remark yet from the police and Pakistan army.

The blasts triggered an immediate reaction from emergency services with Police and Pakistani military reaching the area along with a bomb squad. Authorities confirmed the incident and stated that investigations are underway to identify the precise cause and location of the explosion.
