US Consulate in Lahore urges citizens to evacuate or shelter amid escalating Indo-Pak tensions

The US Consulate in Lahore has issued a security alert, instructing all American citizens and consulate personnel to either evacuate the city if possible or shelter in place due to reports of drone explosions, downed drones, and possible airspace incursions. This advisory follows escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, including India's recent Operation Sindoor, which involved a precision airstrike on a Pakistani air defense system in Lahore in response to attempted drone and missile attacks on multiple Indian cities. The situation remains fluid, with authorities reportedly evacuating areas near Lahore's main airport and security concerns heightened throughout the region. Both US and international observers are closely monitoring developments as the conflict continues to unfold.
