Flights suspended, roads on lockdown following alleged firing in Pak

Multan: Pakistan media, on Monday, alleged that roads leading to Multan Airport were put on lockdown and flights were suspended after reports of firing and explosions.
Some even claimed that a NOTAM or a Notice to Airmen was issued till 8:00 am (local time) Monday for Multan International Airport.
“This is confirmed that there is some problem and some kind of incident has taken place but there is nothing like an attack. Roads leading to Multan Airport are closed,” Pakistani journalist Ahmad Noorani tweeted on Monday.
“This Multan bound flight is not going towards Multan. Different social media accounts are claiming that sounds of heavy firing in Multan Airport Area can be heard. No confirmations …,”he added.
