Escalating the tensions even further, one Pakistani drone hit a residential area in Firozpur, Punjab on Friday, injuring three people.

Three people suffered burn injuries and were immediately rushed to the hospital, SSP Ferozepur, Bhupinder Singh Sidhu said.

"We received information about 3 people being injured. They have burn injuries. Doctors will treat them. Most of the drones have been neutralised by the army," Bhupinder Singh Sidhu said.

Indian Air Defence have intercepted most of the drones in the Firozpur area.

Drone attacks on Srinagar airport and Awantipora air base were thwarted late on Friday, while blasts were heard in Jammu and parts of the south Kashmir region, officials said.

The attack came a day after India thwarted attempts by the Pakistan military to hit Indian military installations using drones and missiles.

The sky was lit up in Baramulla district as the Indian military shot down Pakistani drones.

Blasts were heard and sirens sounded in the Jammu region and south Kashmir as many parts of the Union Territory plunged into darkness, officials said.
