India targets Sheikh Zayed airport in RYK

India has targeted the Sheikh Zayed International Airport in Rahim Yar Khan district Pakistan's Punjab province —a facility widely regarded as a symbol of Pakistan-UAE friendship.

According to security officials, the attack caused structural damage to the airport, which was built in 1993 and named after the late UAE President Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.

The strike has drawn immediate condemnation, with observers warning that the targeting of a site associated with a close ally like the UAE could have wider regional implications.

The airport plays a key role in Pakistan's aviation infrastructure and holds diplomatic significance due to its connection with the Gulf state.

In a separate incident, Indian forces attempted to target Nankana Sahib, a city sacred to the Sikh community and home to the birthplace of Guru Nanak.

Pakistani authorities have labeled the attempted strike as reckless and provocative, accusing India of acting out of "war hysteria."

The attacks come amid ongoing military operations between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
