Pakistan has said Indian drone strikes killed one civilian, while adding it intercepted dozens of more drones. India in turn, said it had "neutralized" a Pakistani attempt to hit military targets.
Pakistan said it shot down 25 drones shot by India overnight, with one civilian being killed and multiple soldiers being wounded as a result of one of the drones.
According to Pakistan's military spokesman Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, the attack was "another act of aggression" by India.
The country's civil aviation authority said three of the country's airports will remain closed until 18:00 local time (1300 GMT). That included the airport for the Pakistani capital Islamabad.
The airports in Karachi and Lahore will also be shut until the early evening.
India said it targeted a Pakistani air defense system located in the city of Lahore in retaliation to Pakistan's attacks using "drones and missiles" which took place overnight, attacks which it said were "neutralized."
"It has been reliably learnt that an air-defence system at Lahore has been neutralized," the Indian government statement said.
Pakistan said the Indian army had fired several Israeli-made drones into the country, both overnight and on Thursday.
Pakistan also said it had intercepted 25 of the drones, with other drones getting through the air defenses and resulting in one civilian killed and several injured soldiers.
The US Consulate General in Lahore told staff to shelter in place following the reports of drone strikes in the Pakistani city, the US State Department said.
