New Delhi: A loud explosion was heard in Pakistan’s Lahore on Thursday morning, according to local broadcaster Geo TV and a Reuters witness.

The explosion comes a day after India carried out strikes within territory of the neighbouring country. It is still unclear what caused the explosion.

According to local media reports, sirens blared and residents rushed out of their homes after the explosion. The blast was heard in the Gopal Nagar and Naseerabad neighborhoods, near Walton Airport.
