Ten explosions have been reported in the vicinity of Srinagar Airport, located in the Jammu region of Indian-administered Kashmir, according to official sources cited by Reuters. Witnesses in the area indicated that they heard multiple explosions and observed missiles in the sky over Jammu on Friday afternoon.

This incident follows a series of military actions by India earlier in the week, during which Indian forces targeted several locations in Pakistan, including areas in Kashmir. The Indian government has stated that these operations were a response to a terrorist attack on tourists in the Kashmir region that occurred in April, which India alleges was supported by Pakistan.

In response to India's military actions, a spokesperson for the Pakistani military announced on Friday that Pakistan would not de-escalate tensions with India, as reported by NTB.

The post accurately reports that ten explosions were heard near Srinagar Airport in Indian-administered Kashmir, as confirmed by official sources.
