By Mubasher Bukhari and Saurabh Sharma LAHORE/AMRITSAR (Reuters) -A blast was heard in Pakistan's Lahore city on Thursday, broadcaster Geo TV and a Reuters witness said, a day after Indian strikes on multiple targets in the country and fears of a larger military conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbours.

People rushed out of their residences after multiple explosions were heard near Lahore’s Walton Road, GeoTv reported. There were reportedly at least two to three blasts.

India's action followed the deadly attack on tourists in Kashmir's Pahalgam a fortnight ago. As many as 26 people, mostly tourists, were gunned down by terrorists after asking about their religion.
