India has violated the ceasefire. Beginning with gun and artillery fire violations at the LoC, a missile has been fired at Wah Cantt which was successfully intercepted. Multiple explosions have been heard in Peshawar. AD systems have been activated and drones are being shot down.

A ceasefire has been announced. Will it be upheld? That remains to be seen. It rained missiles on multiple Airbases in Pakistan until the last minute of the talks - the most notable attacks were on Shahbaz base, Jacobabad, and Jamshoro. A pilot and three airmen were martyred today evening.

Operation Bunyan al Maroos has been concluded. Pakistan has warned India against further aggression.

Pakistan Tonight: A drone struck Okara Sutlej School. Neelum Valley under heavy attack. Gujarat and Sialkot under heavy fire. A ballistic missile hit Narowal. Airports in Sukkur and Rahim Yar Khan have been hit.

It’s raining Kamikaze drones in Rawalpindi and Islamabad.

Pakistan has retaliated. Strikes at Gujarat and Beas, India.

Multiple blasts in Karachi.

Four drones have been shot down in Peshawar.

One night of living through explosions and I understand why journalists in Gaza have stopped posting about everything else.

Indian Missiles have also hit Afghanistan.

Islamabad: Blast near Lethrar Road - 3:35 am Explosion in DHA Sector J Two explosions heard in F-7 (3:35 and 3:41 am) Multiple explosions heard in Peshawar. There is word that the Airport has been attacked.

3:35 and 3:41 am. More loud bangs in Islamabad.

Murid Base, and Shorkot Air Base have been targeted. All Air Force assets remain safe. All six missiles which hit Shorkot were intercepted.

Pakistan Air Defence has intercepted a ballistic missile at Noor Khan airbase, Rawalpindi. A fire has broken out following the interception. Atleast four blasts have been heard in Islamabad in the past 10-15 minutes.

Rawalpindi/Islamabad are under attack right now: A drone has crashed on the rooftop of a house in Media Town. Sirens are going off in Bahria Enclave and parts of Rawalpindi. Projectiles have been seen in the sky near Lethrar Road on the Expressway.

War is upon us.

The morning has been a shower of Israeli-made Indian Kamikaze drones. - Karachi - Islamabad - Rawalpindi - Lahore - Gujranwala - Gujrat - Nankana Sahib - Attock

Indian aggression on Pakistan continues. Explosions have been heard in Gujranwala. Parts of Rawalpindi and Islamabad and blacked out. All flights to Lahore are being diverted. 4 SAM’s have been fired in Amritsar by India during a drill, one of which may have downed an IAF jet.

Pakistan Air Force has shot down 05 fighter aircraft being flown by IAF. This includes 03 Rafael planes, an SU-30 and a MIG-29. So far, Indian Media has confirmed 3 fighter aircraft to have “crashed” - for unknown reasons. Footage from Punjab, India.

We don’t need heads from DC. The sloppy statements coming in are not welcome. US policies have indirectly caused this escalation - now sit this one out. Pakistan will retaliate. It has too. Not retaliating = inviting more Indian aggression.

The update is now six Indian planes being downed, with 3 confirmed kills with evidence for two Rafales and a Sukhaoi.

Footage from one of the Indian missile strikes in Pakistan. The ban on Twitter in Pakistan has also been lifted temporarily. Artillery exchanges are ongoing. An Indian outpost in Neelum Valley has been captured. Firing is still ongoing in Chalhana, Kath Chogli and Dudhniyal.

35 Pakistani civilians have been injured as a result of Indian missile strikes in Pakistan. 8 civilians have been martyred.

- All air traffic in Islamabad and Lahore has been suspended for the next 48 hours. - All flights are being diverted to Karachi. - Three Indian fighter crafts have been downed. - Sri Nagar Airbase in Indian-Occupied Kashmir has been targeted by Pakistan.

To those of you who don’t know - Pakistan is also at war against itself. The current regime in Pakistan took power after a US-backed coup during the Biden regime and have zero legitimacy among the people. They will happily escalate to save face, and to keep Khan in prison.

India-Pakistan updates: - An emergency has been imposed in Punjab. - All educational institutions are to remain closed tomorrow. - The public has been asked to prepare for a blackout, with lights out in Muzaffarabad and curfew in Lahore. - Islamabad has been sealed.

I condemn the horrific terrorist attack in Pahalgam — but no conclusive evidence has been presented linking Pakistan. India’s unprovoked strike on Pakistan is a violation of international law. With both being nuclear powers, this is reckless & a grave threat to regional peace.

The last time the USA intervened in an India-Pakistan conflict was when they forced Pakistan to de-escalate, during Kargil, in 1999. That was 26 years ago. India and Pakistan have been in multiple conflicts since then.

Yes, they did. In March 2022, India fired a Brahmos Missile at Khanewal, and later claimed it was “an accident” - the missile was unarmed (or so they say).

The first of the martyred and the injured.

Turning international law into a joke to give Israel a free-pass for Genocide has resulted in other countries, like India and the UAE thinking they can also bomb civilians in Pakistan and Sudan respectively and get away with it. Not to mention USA is continuing to bomb Yemen.

India fired 9 missiles on five Pakistani cities at midnight. The first Pakistani martyr of the war is a child. Pakistan has begun retaliating. Sri Nagar Airbase has been targeted, along with artillery fire across the LOC.
