“Indian aircrafts intruded from Muzaffarabad sector. Facing timely and effective response from Pakistan Air Force released payload in haste while escaping which fell near Balakot. No casualties or damage,” Major General Asif Ghafoor, Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media wing of the army, mentioned in a tweet.
“Indian Air Force violated Line of Control Pakistan. Pakistan Air Force immediately scrambled. Indian aircraft gone back,” he tweeted.
The same news was confirmed by the Pakistani Army, nonetheless, they have denied any such damage. Speaking on the same Pak Army on Tuesday said, “Indian Air Force violated the Line of Control (LoC) in Muzaffarabad sector”.
India’s deadly airstrikes come days after Jaish-e-Mohammed which is a Pakistan-based terrorist group, executed a suicide bombing in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district, killing 40 CRPF paramilitary soldiers.
India promised to strike back and it had already neutralised its mastermind in a fierce encounter in Pulwama and thus the revenge is accomplished.
