The initiative from the government followed a violation of the Line of Control (LoC) by the Indian Air Force (IAF), which further strained the already tense bilateral ties between Pakistan and India.
A formation of Indian Mirage Jets entered the Pakistani territory in the wee hour of Tuesday; however as Pakistan Air Force (PAF) responded effectively and followed them, they had to escape.
As per the Director General Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), a media wing of Pakistan military, Major General Asif Ghafoor, the formation of Indian planes came inside Pakistani territory 4 to 5 nautical miles.
The director general ISPR said that Indian jets remained four minutes in our airspace and fled when challenged. He told that while fleeing, they unloaded their payloads at Jabba, an area near Balakot, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
