In a powerful press briefing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General (DG), Major General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, laid bare the harrowing details of India’s latest act of aggression along the Line of Control.
He termed the attacks, which killed innocent civilians including children, as “undeniable evidence of Indian state-sponsored terrorism.”
On the night of 6th and 7th, Indian forces deliberately targeted non-combatant civilians, including children and worshippers inside mosques, leading to the martyrdom of 31 people and injuries to 71 others. The DG ISPR questioned the global silence over these atrocities: “Are these children—who were meant to be playing and dreaming—terrorists in India’s eyes?”

India’s shells not only killed children but also damaged religious sites and desecrated copies of the Holy Quran, a move the DG ISPR described as a clear violation of human rights and religious sanctity. “Which religion, which humanity, permits such barbarism?” he asked.
The Pakistani military, in response, retaliated in self-defense, but with precision and responsibility, targeting only military installations across the LoC. “Pakistan did not strike civilian areas. We selected only those military targets that were directly involved in aggression against us,” said the DG ISPR.
During the retaliation, Pakistan Air Force downed Indian modern fighter jets and destroyed several key command and observation posts, including an Indian brigade headquarters. Satellite and aerial images of the destroyed locations were shown to the media to substantiate the claims.

In a shocking disclosure, DG ISPR revealed that 67 international passenger aircraft were flying in the region during India’s offensive. These aircraft belonged to multiple international airlines and were carrying hundreds of civilians. “India, in its madness, played with the lives of innocent people from across the world,” he said.
The DG ISPR further added that in retaliation to Pakistan’s resolute defense, Indian troops have hoisted white flags in some areas along the LoC, indicating surrender and desperation. Regardless of provocations, Pakistan’s military has been maintaining restraint and dignity. “Not a single Pakistani soldier or aircraft was harmed,” he proudly declared. “We thank Allah for this protection and credit our vigilant armed forces.”
He praised the resilience and unity of the Pakistani people: “Our people have stood shoulder to shoulder with their armed forces, forgetting all differences. This national solidarity is our greatest weapon.”
The DG ISPR concluded with a stern warning: “Pakistan will not sit silent. We will respond with full force at a time and place of our choosing. Every drop of innocent blood will be accounted for.”
