LONDON, MAY 10: British media outlets have reported loud explosions at Srinagar Airport, sending shockwaves across the region amid already heightened tensions between India and Pakistan.
According to the reports, a low-flying aircraft passed over the airfield shortly before the blasts. The explosion reportedly occurred 13 seconds after the plane flew over the airport, raising speculation about a potential strike or incident involving the aircraft.
Witnesses and initial reports suggest that thick smoke and flames were seen rising from the airport area following the explosion. The extent of damage and casualties, if any, remains unclear.
Local authorities and the Indian military have yet to issue an official statement regarding the nature and cause of the incident. Emergency services were seen rushing to the site, and security around the airport has been significantly tightened.
The incident adds a new layer of uncertainty to an already volatile situation as both countries continue to exchange accusations over cross-border hostilities.
