"Pakistan Has Every Right To Respond..": PM Shehbaz Sharif On India's Strikes On Pakistan
As per defence sources, the Indian Armed Forces launched ‘Operation Sindoor’ on Wednesday early morning, hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed.
“The cunning enemy has carried out cowardly attacks on five locations in Pakistan. Pakistan has every right to respond forcefully to this act of war imposed by India, and a forceful response is being given. The entire nation stands with the Pakistani armed forces, and the morale and spirit of the entire Pakistani nation are high. The Pakistani nation and the Pakistani armed forces know how to deal with the enemy. We will never allow the enemy to succeed in their nefarious goals.”
مکار دشمن نے پاکستان کے پانچ مقامات پر بزدلانہ حملہ کیا ہے.
پاکستان بھارت کی مسلط کردہ اس جنگی عمل کا بھرپور جواب دینے کا پورا حق رکھتا ہے اور بھرپور جواب دیا جا رہا ہے.
پوری قوم افواج پاکستان کے ساتھ ہے اور پوری پاکستانی قوم کا مورال اور جذبہ بلند ہے.
پاکستانی قوم اور افواج…— Shehbaz Sharif (@CMShehbaz) May 6, 2025
As per the India’s Defence Ministry, in the precise and restrained response to the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives, including one Nepali citizen, focused strikes are being carried out on nine terrorist infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, targeting the roots of cross-border terror planning.
“Importantly, no Pakistani military facilities were hit, reflecting India’s calibrated and non-escalatory approach. This operation underscores India’s resolve to hold perpetrators accountable while avoiding unnecessary provocation. A detailed briefing on the operation will follow later today,” a ministry statement said.
As per the recent reports, at least 3 civilians have been killed and several wounded in Indian-administered Kashmir amid heavy exchanges of artillery fire between Indian and Pakistani forces. “As far as the current situation is ongoing, we are responding. We shot down as per initial reports, we’ve shot down two Indian planes and obviously India is the aggressor, provocator,” Tarar reportedly said.
Pakistan’s Information Minister Attaullah Tarar warned India to face Pakistan’s “very fierce response,” after India fired missiles killed at least eight people including a child.
India’s missiles struck 9 locations in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and in the country’s eastern Punjab province. Reportedly, one strike hit a mosque in the city of Bahawalpur in Punjab, where a child was killed and a woman and man were injured.
