"PAF shot down two Indian aircrafts inside Pakistani airspace," said ISPR. — DawnNewsTV

Pakistan Air Force (PAF) on Wednesday, in retaliation to India's Line of Control (LoC) violation a day earlier, undertook strikes across the LoC from Pakistani airspace.

"Sole purpose of this action was to demonstrate our right, will and capability for self defence. We do not wish to escalate but are fully prepared if forced into that paradigm," said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA).

"Pakistan has taken strikes at non military target, avoiding human loss and collateral damage," said a statement by the Foreign Office. "For the last few years, India has been trying to establish what they call 'a new normal', a thinly veiled term for doing acts of aggression at whatever pretext they wish on a given day.

"If India is striking at so-called terrorist backers without a shred of evidence, we also retain reciprocal rights to retaliate against elements that enjoy Indian patronage while carrying out acts of terror in Pakistan. We do not wish to go to that route and wish that India gives peace a chance and to resolve issues like a mature democratic nation," the statement added.

A day earlier, the army spokesperson saidthat the prime minister had asked everyone to get ready for every eventuality. "We are all ready. Now it is time for India to wait for our response," he asserted.

"The response will come at a point and time of our choosing where our civil military leadership decides, and as a matter of fact, has decided," he had said, reiterating the statement issued after the National Security Committee (NSC) meeting convened by Prime Minister Imran Khan.

'New Pakistan'
"We are peaceful; we didn't escalate, India did," said Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi while speaking to ARY. "We exposed their escalations and their false claims, we offered international observers to come and examine the claims of India.

"India, listen: this is a new Pakistan, [there is] new enthusiasm, new valour," he cautioned the neighbouring country.

"The nation is united, each and every child is standing by the Army and Kashmiris. Even today, our preference is peace. India should review its designs. A new Pakistan has been established," Qureshi said.

"The next course of action will be devised after the NCA [National Command Authority] session in which military and political leadership are participating," he added.

Prime Minister Khan has summoned a special meeting of the NCA today. The NCA is the apex civilian-led command headed by the prime minister to oversee the policy formulation, exercises, deployment, research and development, and operational command and control of the country’s nuclear arsenals.

This is a developing story that is being updated as the situation evolves. Initial reports in the media can sometimes be inaccurate.

Isn't it supposed to explode after it comes through the roof?

 

[khansaheeb]

There is a definite possibility that 2 mig 21 or 1 mi17 chopper is down as i have seen in indian media .
F16 story can also be true because parachute landing was reported.
