Pakistani Prime Minister Mohamed Shahbaz Sharif confirmed that the armed forces respond with full force to what he described as a “cowardly attack” that the enemy launched on five locations inside the Pakistani lands, stressing that his country maintains its full right to a strong response to this military aggression by India.
“The entire nation stands next to our armed forces and the morale of our people in its highest levels,” Sharif said, stressing that “the people and the army know how to face the enemy and we will never allow it to achieve its malicious goals.”
In a field development, Pakistani television, quoting security officials, announced that the Pakistani Air Force had dropped two Rafale’s Indian fighters, while Reuters quoted a Pakistani regional official that a state of emergency in the Punjab region had been declared, in light of the escalation of military tension between the two nuclear neighbors.
