India-Pakistan tensions: A missile-like object landed deep inside the Dal Lake in Jammu and Kashmir's Srinagar on Saturday, the officials said. The object fell into the major tourist attraction in Srinagar after loud explosions rocked the city early morning, the officials added.
The officials further added that after the said object landed in the lake, smoke started bellowing from the surface of the lake. The security forces recovered the debris of the object, which was being analysed.
Meanwhile, another suspected object was recovered from Lasjan on the outskirts of the city on Saturday morning. The officials added that the object was also under examination.
As the city faced the biggest attack attempt by Pakistan today, a drone was seen hovering over the Old Srinagar airfield, also known as the 'technical' airport. The officials said that the drone was shot down by the air defence system. They added that two massive explosions were heard near the Srinagar airport around noon.
LG Manoj Sinha visits border districts
As Jammu and Kashmir remains at the front of ceasefire violations and drone attacks, it has witnessed most of the attacks and heightened security. Earlier today, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha reviewed the security situation in the border districts of J&K.
These districts are badly hit by the cross-border shelling of Pakistani troops. "Reviewed security situation in the border districts. Anguished by loss of lives due to unprovoked shelling by Pakistan," the LG said in a post from his X handle.
Sinha also expressed grief over the death of a senior administration officer in Pakistani shelling in Rajouri district.
"We have lost brave citizens, including our ADDC Rajouri, Dr. Raj Kumar Thapa in the line of duty. My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families," he said.
