Muridke, Pakistan – New satellite imagery has revealed the aftermath of Indian airstrikes in Muridke, a city in Pakistan’s Punjab province, raising fresh concerns over rising tensions between the two neighboring nuclear powers.
The high-resolution images, released by Maxar Technologies, clearly show significant damage to structures within the city. Among the most striking visuals is the Masjid-e-Markaz Taiba, a well-known religious school, engulfed in flames shortly after the strike early Wednesday.
The airstrikes, which India has not publicly commented on, are believed to have targeted locations associated with militant activity. Muridke has long been known as a stronghold of the banned militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which has been linked to past attacks on Indian soil.
Footage from the scene, verified by CNN, shows thick plumes of smoke rising from the religious complex, indicating heavy fire damage. Witnesses reported hearing multiple explosions during the early morning hours, followed by panic among local residents.
While Pakistani authorities have condemned the attack, calling it an unprovoked violation of sovereignty, no official casualty figures have yet been released.
International observers are urging restraint, with fears that escalating military action could destabilize the already volatile region.
The Indian government has remained tight-lipped about the strike, though sources within the defense establishment have hinted at "strategic action" following recent cross-border tensions.
As global powers call for de-escalation, the situation remains tense, with both nations' militaries reportedly on high alert.
