It is recalled that Pakistan shot down five Indian fighter jets and a drone after the neighbouring country launched a midnight attack at six different locations, leaving 31 civilians dead and injuring 57.
Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Lt Gen Ahmad Sharif, in a presser on Wednesday, said the rise in casualties was due to India’s relentless ceasefire violations and unprovoked firing along the Line of Control (LoC).
The ISPR DG has blasted India for targeting civilians and populations in its air strikes last night in Pakistan.
“Any condemnation of India’s strikes is not enough. The strikes of May 6 and 7 expose India’s disgusting face, showing that our enemy is so weak and scared that, like cowards, it targets civilians and population centres in the darkness of night instead of fighting the equivalent army in front of it,” he added.
