Security has been intensified at all sensitive sites and inter-provincial borders to deter any threats. These heightened measures come after an Indian drone, reportedly carrying explosives, was shot down near Walton Airport in Lahore on Thursday morning, following multiple explosions heard in the area.
Police sources revealed that the drone, which measured 5 to 6 feet, was being operated from across the border and was intercepted using a jamming system before it could strike sensitive locations.
