Three explosions rocked Lahore’s Walton Road in Gulberg on Thursday morning, sparking panic and prompting a swift police investigation. The blasts, amid regional tensions, coincided with temporary air route closures, raising concerns as bomb disposal teams assessed the scene.

At approximately 8:30 AM on May 8, 2025, three loud explosions in quick succession shook Walton Road, near Gopal Nagar and Naseerabad in Lahore’s upscale Gulberg area, causing residents to flee their homes in fear, as reported by Geo News. Audible kilometres away, the blasts led hundreds to gather on the the streets, with social media posts on X describing widespread alarm.

Lahore Police, alongside Rescue 1122 and firefighting units, cordoned off the area, restricting access as bomb disposal and intelligence teams began investigating the cause, per Dawn.

No casualties have been confirmed, but the proximity to sensitive districts heightened concerns, with officials yet to determine whether the explosions resulted from a deliberate attack, accidental detonation, or another source, per The Express Tribune. The incident, trending on X, has fueled speculation, with some linking it to ongoing India-Pakistan tensions.

Context of Regional Tensions and Air Route Closures

The explosions followed Pakistan’s closure of key air routes in Lahore and Sialkot for commercial flights from early Thursday until noon, citing security concerns amid India-Pakistan hostilities, per a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) reported by The News International.

The closures, affecting Allama Iqbal International Airport, were part of heightened measures after India’s May 6 airstrikes killed 31 civilians, prompting Pakistan to down five Indian jets, per Reuters. Airports in Karachi, Multan, and Faisalabad also faced high alerts, with flights rerouted to Peshawar.

The timing, post-Pahalgam attack on April 22, has raised fears of escalation, though no official link to the explosions has been confirmed. According to Al Jazeera, US and UN calls for de-escalation underscore the volatile regional climate.
