India strikes a Pakistani Air Base

This is the moment India blitzes a Pakistani airbase as the two nations stand on the edge of war.

Pakistan said two other airbases had also been struck - which prompted them to shut down airspace over the country shortly after.

Dramatic footage shows an Indian “ballistic missile” striking Pakistan’s Nur Khan Airbase, just outside the capital Islamabad in the early hours of Saturday.

A Pakistani military spokesperson warned: “Now just wait for our response.”

Tensions are ratcheting up as the two nations launch tit-for-tat attacks while edging closer to all out war.

The strike comes after blackouts were issued and sirens heard in Kashmir amid reports of incoming drone attacks.

Indian defence sources said a new wave of drone attacks targeted Indian Kashmir for a second straight evening Friday, including the city of Jammu.

One Indian military official said: “Drones have been sighted in Jammu, Samba” in Indian-administered Kashmir and in Pathankot in neighbouring Punjab.

“They are being engaged.”
