Rahim Yar Khan:
India has targeted Sheikh Zayed International Airport in Rahim Yar Khan District Pakistan’s Punjab Province Facility, which is largely considered a symbol of Pakistan-Uae friendship.
According to security officials, the attack caused structural damage to the airport, built in 1993 and named after the deceased UAE president Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
The strike has drawn immediate condemnation with observers warning that the targeting of a place associated with a close ally that UAE could have wider regional consequences.
The airport plays a key role in Pakistan’s aviation infrastructure and has diplomatic significance due to its connection with the Gulf State.
In a separate incident, Indian forces tried to target Nankana Sajib, a city that is sacred to the Sikh community and home to the birthplace of Guru Nanak.
Pakistani authorities have felt the attempt on strike as ruthless and provocative and accused India of acting out of “war hysteria.”
The attacks come in the midst of the ongoing military operations between the two nuclear armed neighbors.
