Pakistan rejects Indian claim of striking militant camp, inflicting
casualties
ISLAMABAD, Feb 26, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Pakistan rejected Tuesday India’s
claim that it killed many militants in an air strike, branding it “self
serving, reckless and fictitious”.
Pakistan officials have said that Indian warplanes did breach its
airspace and drop a payload over Balakot in the country’s northwest, but said
there was no damage or casualties.
At a press conference in Islamabad, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi
called the violation an “uncalled for aggression to which Pakistan shall
respond at the time and place of its choosing”.
