Jammu is witnessing a complete blackout with reports of citizens witnessing missile streaks in the sky and a drone attack by Pakistan. A full blackout is being seen in Baramulla in Kashmir and Pathankot in Punjab too.
“Complete blackout in Jammu. Loud explosions — bombing, shelling, or missile strikes suspected. Fret not — Mata Vishnu Devi is with us, and so are valiant Indian Armed Forces,” said Shesh Paul Vaid, former Director General of Police, Jammu and Kashmir.
Locals also said they had heard sirens sound out in multiple places, and officials indicated that missile interception systems had been activated.
Sources said the Jammu airport appeared to be a target. They said there was large-scale attack of drones along the International Border. Simultaneously, heavy artillery and drone attacks were reported from Samba.
In an advisory, the Jammu police asked citizens “to switch off all types of lights during black out period. Stay indoors at safe places.” “No unnecessary vehicular movement should be taken,” it said.
