Pakistan News: Air Defence Units Severely Compromised in Sialkot and Lahore After 10 Blasts, Check

Amid growing tensions in the region following India’s Operation Sindoor, Pakistan’s military capabilities have taken a significant hit. Air defence units stationed in Lahore and Sialkot have reportedly suffered severe damage, according to emerging reports from Pakistani and international sources.

Widespread Explosions Across 10 Cities

The air defence damage coincides with reports of blasts in at least 10 cities across Pakistan, fueling speculation of coordinated strikes or internal security failures. While the Pakistani military has yet to confirm the extent of the damage, social media videos and local eyewitnesses have suggested multiple loud explosions and visible destruction in critical defence installations.

Operational Collapse Raises Questions

The compromised state of Pakistan’s air defence systems—especially in strategic zones like Lahore and Sialkot, which are close to the Indian border—raises serious concerns about the country’s military preparedness and internal security protocols. The blasts have reportedly exposed gaps in Pakistan’s aerial surveillance and missile interception capabilities.

No Official Statement Yet

As of now, there has been no official confirmation or denial from the Pakistan Army or ISPR. Meanwhile, experts suggest that the nature and timing of these damages could be linked to India's recent counter-terror operation, although independent verification is still awaited. 

Operation Sindoor: A Continuing Mission

During the all-party meeting, the Defence Minister clarified that Operation Sindoor is still ongoing, signalling that Indian forces remain on high alert and are prepared for any further escalation from Pakistan. While reiterating that India does not seek further confrontation, Singh said the country reserves the right to respond decisively if provoked.

“There are no plans to escalate… but if the enemy attacks, we will strike back harder,” the Defence Minister reportedly said.
