Islamabad: In a recent statement, Pakistan’s Defense Minister, Khwaja Muhammad Asif, emphasized that the nation is preparing to deliver a comprehensive response to the recent missile strikes launched by India. Asif highlighted that the response would encompass both military and diplomatic avenues.
Speaking on a private television channel, Asif asserted that India’s reluctance to engage Pakistan’s airspace is attributed to the vigilant defense maintained by the Pakistan Air Force. He claimed that the Indian forces fired missiles from within their own territory, aiming at civilian targets which included women and children.
The Defense Minister extended an invitation to foreign media outlets to visit the affected areas, urging them to witness firsthand the impact of the missile attacks on civilian populations. This invitation underscores Pakistan’s intent to showcase the situation on an international stage.
