The Pakistan Army said today that explosions were heard in several cities across Pakistan, including Lahore, Karachi, in addition to Sialkot. 

Pakistan Army spokesperson Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry reportedly said that the blast sounds were due to Harop loitering munition drones, amid increasing tensions between the two countries.
