A day after India intercepted several missiles over its skies, Jammu again saw a blackout and sirens ring out on Friday night.
Residents told The Indian Express that the blackout was enforced a little after 8 pm.
“Blackout in Jammu now. Sirens can be heard across the city,” J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah posted on X.
The development comes a day after Pakistan attempted to attack military installations in Jammu, Pathankot and Udhampur, which was repelled by the Indian side.
Jammu had seen a blackout lasting hours on Thursday night too, as missiles streaked across the sky. After an initial attack from the Pakistani side a little before midnight, it had made another attempt around 3.50 am on Friday.
The following day had been fairly routine Jammu, with commercial establishments, banks and government offices open as usual all through Friday.
However, educational institutions such as schools and colleges, except for medical colleges, were shut as the government ordered their closure until May 12.
