Panic gripped Pakistan's city of Karachi yesterday night (9 June) when a citywide blackout was imposed by authorities.


While it was later found that the jets in question were patrolling Pakistani Air Force (PAF) aircraft, Aroor stressed that this development is a result of Balakot Air Strike's success.

He said that the psychological impact of the air strike on the Jaish e-Mohammed terror camp has spilled over to the Pakistani populace fearing an attack by Indian jets.


While other individuals including journalists acknowledged that the jets were indeed Pakistani they speculated whether their scramble was a result of Indian activity. One Pakistani journalist even tweeted that such activity by Pakistani Air Force was similar to what was witnessed in the aftermath of Balakot Air Strike.
