Following India’s retaliatory strikes on multiple air bases in Pakistan, panic has gripped Islamabad, with all petrol pumps in the capital territory ordered to shut down for 48 hours, sources said. The move comes amid an ongoing fuel shortage in Pakistan.

According to ANI, Indian strikes hit at least four airbases in Pakistan early Saturday, as tensions between the two countries continue to escalate.

Meanwhile, News18 quoted government sources saying that Pakistan launched a Fatah-2 missile towards Delhi, which was intercepted in Sirsa. If confirmed, the failed missile strike could deal a serious blow to Pakistan’s air power.

At the same time, multiple Indian drones were reportedly seen flying over Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Sialkot, Lahore, and Peshawar.

The current escalation began late Friday night and continued into the early hours of Saturday, when India launched retaliatory strikes targeting Islamabad, Lahore, and Rawalpindi, along with three Pakistani Air Force bases, defence sources told News18. Multiple explosions were reported across Pakistani cities—two in Rawalpindi, and one each in Lahore and Islamabad.
