In a sudden and alarming development, the spokesperson for the Pakistani army reported that India has launched six ballistic missiles, one of which fell in Adampur while the other five fell in the Amritsar region in the Indian state of Punjab. This announcement came in an urgent statement on official channels, with the spokesperson confirming that the attack occurred at a sensitive time following a new wave of violence between the two nuclear-armed countries. Late on Friday, massive explosions were heard in the Indian city of Jammu, which had been plunged into darkness due to a power outage. The Indian army attributed these explosions to the downing of drones in the area, as clashes escalated between India and Pakistan, specifically in the disputed region of Kashmir. Several explosions were also recorded near the Srinagar airport in Indian-administered Kashmir. This escalation comes after India carried out airstrikes on Pakistani territory last Wednesday, targeting what it described as "terrorist camps" in response to a bloody attack on Hindu pilgrims in Kashmir last month. Despite Pakistan denying involvement in the attack, the ongoing clashes between the two parties continue to pose a serious threat to regional stability. Reports of unprecedented escalation in fighting have emerged, with around 48 fatalities on both sides since the crisis began, amidst cross-border shelling, missile launches, and drone strikes. On the other hand, global powers have expressed deep concern over the ongoing military escalation between the two countries, amid fears that the situation could escalate into a full-scale war that may impact regional and international security. As the atmosphere is further inflamed by more explosions and airstrikes, the region remains on edge, with the world watching closely to see the outcome of this major crisis.
