Pakistan’s Response and Media Outreach**

DG ISPR reaffirmed that Pakistan has begun a comprehensive retaliatory campaign targeting Indian military installations and assets. He emphasized that the Pakistan Air Force has already carried out multiple precision strikes in occupied territories and will escalate if provoked further.

To counter what Pakistan calls “false Indian allegations,” the military took national and international media personnel to the Line of Control (LoC) yesterday to witness the situation firsthand. A second media visit is scheduled for this morning to the recently attacked civilian areas to expose what Pakistan has called “India’s nude aggression.”

“These strikes are not just against our military—they are against mosques, women, and children. This is terrorism, not war. Pakistan will not let this go unanswered,”

stated the DG ISPR.

International Concerns Mount

With both nuclear-armed nations trading live fire and diplomatic blows, global powers including the UN, China, and the US have called for immediate de-escalation. The Security Council is expected to convene within 24 hours.
