Synopsis

The explosion near the Prime Minister's residence has reportedly caused panic within Pakistan's government and military.

Tensions between India and Pakistan have reportedly escalated to alarming levels, with the Indian Army delivering a response to Pakistan's recent drone and missile attacks. A loud explosion was reportedly heard just 20 kilometers away from the residence of Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, heightening fears and panic in the region.

According to media reports, the explosion took place in the vicinity of Pakistan's military installations, leading to speculation that the Indian Army's counterattack successfully neutralised several of Pakistan's offensive assets, including air defense systems and missiles. Reports suggest that India's advanced technological capabilities and strategic military operations led to significant damage to Pakistan's military infrastructure.

India's armed forces also managed to shoot down Pakistan's high-tech fighter jets, including JF-17s.

The explosion near the Prime Minister's residence has reportedly caused panic within Pakistan's government and military. The blast has raised serious questions regarding the security and preparedness of Pakistan's internal defense mechanisms.

Unconfirmed reports also allege that Shehbaz Sharif was swiftly evacuated from his residence as a precautionary measure following the explosion.

While this development is yet to be confirmed officially by either government, experts are raising alarms that such actions could have significant implications for regional peace and stability.
