Siren Sounds in Lahore After Suspected Drone Entry

Lahore, Pakistan – Panic and confusion spread across parts of Lahore late last night as sirens were reportedly heard following alleged drone attacks originating from the Indian side. Although official confirmation is still awaited, residents in several areas claimed they heard loud sirens accompanied by low-flying drones in the sky.

The incident has stirred concern among the public, especially amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan in recent weeks.

• Siren sounds reportedly heard in multiple areas of Lahore, including DHA, Cantt, and Gulberg.

• Locals claimed to have seen low-flying objects, suspected to be drones.

• Social media is flooded with videos and reports, though official sources have yet to verify.

• No casualties or damage reported so far.

• High-level security meetings reportedly held overnight in response to the incident.

According to residents, the unsettling sounds began around 11:45 PM, triggering fear and uncertainty. Areas like DHA Phase 5, Model Town, Cantt, and Gulberg were reportedly affected. Many people rushed to safe areas, fearing a possible airstrike or military action.

One resident shared,

“We heard continuous sirens for about 10 minutes. It reminded us of wartime alerts. Then we saw something like a drone in the sky, flying low. It was terrifying.”

Several people recorded videos and posted them on social media, showing flashing lights and faint buzzing noises overhead.

While there is no official confirmation from the Pakistan Army or the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), multiple unverified sources suggested that there may have been an attempted drone surveillance or intrusion by Indian forces.

Drones are often used for:

• Surveillance missions

• Gathering strategic intelligence

• Testing border alertness

• Psychological warfare

Experts suggest this may be part of strategic pressure tactics.

• Rangers and Police were seen patrolling the affected areas.

• The Lahore Air Base was reportedly put on high alert.

• Emergency teams were also mobilized in case of any threat escalation.

While officials have not released a detailed statement yet, sources say a high-level emergency meeting was called by defense and intelligence officials overnight.

“This might be a tactical move to provoke or test Pakistan’s air defenses. But without confirmed details, we must not jump to conclusions.”

“India and Pakistan are in a delicate state. Even unverified activities like these can trigger public panic and unnecessary tension.”

As of now, the ISPR has not issued a public statement. However, media insiders claim that the Ministry of Defense will release an official update after a thorough investigation.

The Punjab Government, meanwhile, has increased security presence in key zones and assured the public that “everything is under control.”

While mainstream Indian media has remained relatively silent on the incident, some regional outlets in India have reported “routine surveillance exercises.”

On the other hand, international media is closely watching the situation due to its potential to escalate regional conflict.

Until further confirmation, it’s important not to give in to panic or rumors. Pakistan's air defense and intelligence agencies are known for their preparedness and vigilance. However, the government must:

• Provide transparent communication to the public,

• Investigate the incident thoroughly, and

• Ensure national safety and stability.
