A day after India hit terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, there was a significant escalation Thursday night when rockets from over the international border attacked many areas in Jammu, including the airfield. There were several reports of explosions around the city.

The Jammu civil airport, Samba, RS Pura, Arnia, and the adjacent localities were the targets of eight missiles fired from Pakistan, according to security authorities. The S-400 air defense system effectively intercepted all of them.
