IN an unprovoked and blatant act of war on the night of 6th to early morning of 7th May 2025, the Indian Air Force, while remaining within Indian airspace, has violated Pakistan’s sovereignty using standoff weapons, targeting the civilian population across the international border in the cities of Muridke, Sialkot and Bahawalpur, and across the Line of Control in Kotli and Muzaffarabad, Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
India’s act of aggression including attacks on places of worship and residential areas, have resulted in the martyrdom of innocent civilians, including women and children. They also attacked the Neelum Jhelum hydropower project.
These acts of aggression by India also caused grave threats to commercial air traffic.
We strongly condemn India’s cowardly action, which is a flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter, international law, and established norms of inter-state relations.
In the wake of the Pehalgam attack, the Indian leadership has once again used the bogey of terrorism to advance its sham narrative of victimhood, jeopardising regional peace and security.
India’s reckless action has brought the two nuclear-armed states closer to a major conflict.
The situation continues to evolve. Pakistan reserves the right to respond appropriately at a time and place of its choosing, in accordance with the Article 51 of the UN Charter, and as enshrined in international law.
The government, armed forces and people of Pakistan stand united in the face of Indian aggression. They will always act with iron resolve to protect and preserve the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Pakistan.
