She said radar sites in Pasur and Sialkot aviation base were also targeted. She added that the Indian Armed Forces carried out a precision attack only at identified military targets in response to Pakistan’s action.
Colonel Sofiya Qureshi informed that the Pakistani army is continuously attacking the western borders by using drones, long-range weapons, loitering munitions and fighter jets. She said, India effectively neutralised the attacks.

Colonel Qureshi added that Pakistan used high-speed missiles to target Punjab’s air base last night and they even attacked health facilities and schools in Srinagar, Avantipur and Udhampur. She said, the Indian armed forces are committed to non-escalation, provided the Pakistan side reciprocates.
