Due to reports of drone explosions, downed drones, and possible airspace incursions in and near Lahore, the US Consulate General in Lahore has directed all consulate personnel to shelter-in-place, according to a statement.

“The Consulate has also received initial reports that authorities may be evacuating some areas adjacent to Lahore’s main airport.

“US citizens who find themselves in an area of active conflict should leave if they can do so safely.  If it is not safe to leave, they should shelter-in-place,” the statement said.
