The US Consulate General in Lahore, Pakistan, has directed its staff to shelter in place amid reports of drone explosions, downed drones and possible airspace incursions, the country’s State Department said on Thursday.
The consulate said it has also received initial reports that authorities may be evacuating some areas adjacent to Lahore’s main airport, according to a statement.
The move comes as Pakistan said on Thursday it shot down 25 drones from India in its airspace while India said it had “neutralised” Pakistan’s attempt to engage military targets using drones and missiles, as the latest conflict between the two nuclear-powered neighbours intensified.
