The country's strikes have heightened fears of escalating military conflict
Pakistan shot down 12 drones that invaded the airspace in India, the day after India's strike against multiple targets in the region, with fears of a larger military clash between nuclear-weapon neighbors, the military said on Thursday.
Pakistan military spokesman Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said India was sending Israeli harop drones to multiple locations, including two cities in Karachi and Lahore, whose debris are being collected.
“Indian drones continue to be sent into Pakistani airspace… [India] He said.
Dozens of people died after India opened fire on Pakistan and fired in Kashmir earlier on Wednesday, saying it was targeted at militant camps, not civilians. Pakistan vows to retaliate as families flee and fear of wider conflict.
The Indian Ministry of Defense did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
India hit the “terrorist infrastructure” in Pakistan in the early hours of Wednesday, two weeks after accusing the country of involvement in the Indian-controlled Kashmir attack, 26 of whom, mainly Hindu tourists, were killed.
Islamabad denied the allegation and vowed to retaliate against the missile strike, and said it shot down five Indian aircraft. The Indian embassy in Beijing reported that the fighter jet was shot down as “misinformation”.
