NEW DELHI: Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah on Firday took to social media to report alarming developments amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan. In a series of posts on X, Abdullah said he could hear intermittent sounds of explosions , likely from heavy artillery fire, and confirmed a blackout across Jammu city.
“Blackout in Jammu now. Sirens can be heard across the city,” he wrote, followed shortly by another update: “Intermittent sounds of blasts, probably heavy artillery, can now be heard from where I am.”
His statements came amid explosion sounds heard in Samba as India's air defence intercepted Pakistani drones.
