ISLAMABAD: A timely and swift response by Pakistan Air Force (PAF) forced four Indian Rafale jets to retreat.
According to Security Sources, “On the night of April 29/30, four Indian Rafale jets conducted patrolling within Indian geographical boundaries over Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).” However, Pakistan Air Force (PAF) immediately detected the Indian fighter jets, they said.
They said that Indian jets became flustered and retreated owing to the timely and prompt action by the PAF.
The Pakistani armed forces remain fully prepared and alert to give a befitting response to any aggression from India, the Security sources said.
Earlier, Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar said the “credible intelligence” reports indicated to the Indian nefarious plans of conducting a military action against Pakistan in next 24 to 36 hours.
“Pakistan has credible intelligence that India intends carrying out military action against Pakistan in the next 24-36 hours on the pretext of baseless and concocted allegations of involvement in the Pahalgam incident,” said the minister while speaking to the media.
He said Pakistan vehemently rejected “Indian self-assumed hubristic role of Judge, Jury and Executioner in the region” which is completely “reckless”.
“Pakistan has been the victim of terrorism itself and truly understands the pain of this scourge,” he said, adding “We have always condemned it in all its forms and manifestations anywhere in the world.”
