Multiple blasts were heard in Jammu city in Indian Kashmir for the second day on Friday, and projectiles seen in the night sky after a blackout, two Reuters witnesses said.

Pakistan on Friday fired drones at various locations, prompting India's air defense to intercept them. The escalation follows recent tensions after India's precision strikes targeting terror infrastructure in response to a deadly attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam.

In a decisive retaliatory strike, the Indian Army destroyed a Pakistani post and terror launch pad near Jammu, used for launching tube drones into Indian territory. This comes after Pakistani shelling hit civilian areas near the Aap Shambhu Temple in Jammu city.

By Aftab Ahmed, Adnan Abidi and Saeed Shah JAMMU, India/ISLAMABAD (Reuters) -Blasts rang out across the Indian city of Jammu late on Thursday during what the government said was a Pakistani drone and missile attack on military stations around the Kashmir region on the second day of clashes between the nuclear-armed neighbours.

India has accused Pakistan of attacking three of its military bases with drones and missiles, a claim which has been denied by Islamabad. The Indian Army said it had foiled Pakistan's attempts to attack its bases in Jammu and Udhampur,

India has threatened before, in other moments of rising tensions, to pull out of the Indus Waters Treaty, which both countries signed in 1960. If India follows through this time, it could restrict the flow of water that is used for most of Pakistan’s crop irrigation and human consumption. Agriculture represents one-fourth of the country’s economy.

India and Pakistan’s latest military conflict has expanded, days after India carried out airstrikes in Pakistan that followed an attack by gunmen on tourists in India-controlled Kashmir last month
