LAHORE: The US Embassy ordered its consulate staff and citizens to leave Lahore immediately. US issued the order, including to its citizens, after Pakistan attacked Indian military installations. The consulate also said it had received information that people may need to be evacuated from some areas near Lahore's main airport.

The US Embassy and Consulates in Pakistan will also send updates as needed through the messaging system.

Pakistan had attempted to attack several military installations in India using drones and missiles, including Awantipora, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai, and Bhuj.

India repelled the missile attack using the S-400 missile, which was recently purchased from Russia. S-400 missile can shoot down fighter jets, ballistic and cruise missiles, and drones and is considered the best air defence system in the world.
