New Delhi: Amid confusion and fear followed by sighting of some aircrafts hovering in Karachi sky, social media went abuzz with users talking about what they thought to be a repeat of Balakot strikes. Some users said that the city was put under a blackout fearing that Indian Aircrafts have crossed LoC. Balakot strikes were carried out by Indian Air Force targeting terror camps in Pakistan, after Pakistan-based JeM carried out terror attacks in Kashmir’s Pulwama. As per the social media users in Pakistan, the IAF jets flying over Karachi led to a “blackout” in the city. However, as per ANI sources, IAF has denied any such activity by its fighter aircraft over Pakistan. Here are some reactions by Pakistan users:
