Four Indian Air Force Rafale fighter jets conducted a patrolling mission over Indian-occupied Kashmir on the night of April 29-30, remaining within Indian airspace, according to security sources.
However, the aircraft quickly retreated after being detected by Pakistan Air Force (PAF) jets, sources confirmed.
PAF jets swiftly identified the Indian warplanes during their patrol, prompting the Rafale jets to withdraw in confusion and haste, security officials added.
The Pakistani military remains on high alert and fully prepared to respond to any act of aggression from India, sources further said.
Speaking on the current Indo-Pak situation, Federal Information Minister Attaullah Tarar stated that intelligence reports suggest India may initiate military action within the next 24 to 36 hours.
“India has chosen the path of confrontation,” the minister said, warning that any Indian military adventurism will be met with a resolute response. He added that Pakistan firmly rejects India’s self-assumed role as judge, jury, and executioner in the region.
