After the outbreak of military conflict between India and Pakistan, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz said on the 7th that in response to India's attack, the Pakistani army was highly vigilant, united and collaborated to deliver a powerful counterattack. Shehbaz emphasized that India must bear the consequences of its attacks.
The office of the Pakistani Prime Minister issued a statement on the 7th, stating that the Pakistani military had shot down five Indian fighter jets and one drone. Among the five Indian aircraft shot down, three were French-made "Rafale" fighters, according to Pakistan.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz emphasized when delivering a speech at the parliament on the 7th that India must bear the consequences of its attacks. According to Shehbaz, the clashes between the Pakistani and Indian aircraft lasted for an hour; if not for the restraint of the Pakistani military, at least ten Indian aircraft could have been shot down.
Shehbaz stated that India needs to take responsibility for launching attacks against Pakistan, while Pakistan has an unwavering determination and will not back down.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz:
India is a cowardly enemy, thinking that attacking innocent people would make them appear strong. Last night, we demonstrated how Pakistan knows how to respond powerfully in self-defense.
On the other hand, Indian Home Minister Shah and Defense Minister Singh held a meeting with the leaders of border states in India on the 7th. Singh stated that the actions of the Indian armed forces were precise and empathetic, targeting only the camps and infrastructure of terrorists in Pakistan, without harming civilian lives.
Indian Defense Minister Singh:
The actions of the Indian armed forces were precise, alert, and empathetic. The selected targets were destroyed accurately at the right time. Our armed forces also showed empathy, ensuring that the operation did not affect civilians in any way.
Despite India's claim that the attacks targeted "terrorists," several civilian facilities in Pakistan were damaged during the strikes, resulting in dozens of civilian casualties including children. The town of Bahawalpur in Punjab Province suffered four strikes early in the morning on the 7th, severely damaging a large mosque. Schools and mosques in Muzaffarabad, the capital of the Pakistan-controlled Kashmir region, were also heavily damaged. Local officials stated that India's claims are false, and there were no "terrorist camps" in the area.
