“The Army has been called here. We have to cooperate with the Army and the Administration. We are ready for this (to face the ceasefire violation by Pakistan). India only took action on terror sites in Pakistan, but look what they (Pakistan) have done,” Amritsar MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla told ANI.

However, some reports claimed that India thwarted Pakistan's attempt to target Amritsar. As per Times Now, Pakistan fired two missiles towards Amritsar, and both were successfully intercepted by the air defence system and were destroyed.

Notably, an old video of a wildfire from 2024 is being shared by Pakistani handles as an attack on the Amritsar military base. The government advised citizens to avoid sharing unverified information.
