Panic spread across Islamabad late Tuesday night as loudspeaker announcements urged residents to stay indoors and switch off all lights. The sudden alert comes just a day after the covert military action known as Operation Sindoor, which targeted high-value militant assets near the border.
Though officials have not released a formal statement, the timing has fueled speculation of potential retaliation or elevated security threats. Security forces were seen mobilizing across key zones, and lights were blacked out in several neighborhoods.
Authorities have advised the public to remain calm and await further instructions.
