Rahim Yar Khan:
India has targeted Sheikh Zayed International Airport in the Punjab province of the Rahim Yar Khan district – an installation widely considered as a symbol of Pakistani -Uae friendship.
According to security officials, the attack caused structural damage to the airport, which was built in 1993 and appointed according to the deceased president of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
The strike sparked immediate conviction, with observers warning that targeting a site associated with a close ally like water could have larger regional implications.
The airport plays a key role in the aeronautical infrastructure of Pakistan and has a diplomatic meaning because of its link with the Gulf State.
In a separate incident, Indian forces have tried to target Nankana Sahib, a sacred city for the Sikh community and which houses the birthplace of Guru Nanak.
The Pakistani authorities qualified the strike attempt as reckless and provocative, accusing India of acting as “war hysteria”.
Attacks are involved in the midst of ongoing military operations between the two nuclear weapons neighbors.
