Colonel Sophia Qureshi said
On the midnight of 8-9 May, the Pakistani Army attacked several times with the intention of targeting the military infrastructure. An attempt was made to infiltrate 36 places along the international border. About 300-400 drones were used.
Their purpose was to get information about intelligence and air defense systems. Initial investigation revealed that Turkas were drones. They are being investigated. Indian forces destroyed them. A UAV was also doing movement, which was deactivated.
Pakistan fired heavily on LOC, injured some soldiers. On 7 May 2025, the missile and drone attack at 8:30 pm and did not turn off their air space during that time. Citizens used for shield.
During the high air defense alert in the Punjab sector, our aircraft is closed for civilian flights, but civil flight was going on in Pakistan’s territory. The civilian aircraft of Pakistan took off from Damam to Lahore. The Indian Air Force in its response showed restraint and fixed the security of the International Citizen Service. Pakistan’s UAV tried to target the Bhatinda Army Station, which was dropped.
Colonel Sophia Qureshi told through a map that on May 7, 2025, at 8.30 pm, three flights were flying in Pakistani aircraft.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said
Vikram Misri said that you have been made aware of the cowardly activities of the Pakistani Army last night. It was an abolition action, targeting Indian cities and civilian infrastructure and some military hideouts. Indian military units answered them.
Pakistan claims that they did not attack any religious place. He attacked the gurudwara in Poonch. Instead of taking responsibility for these attacks, Pakistan is saying that the Indian Army is doing so. Pakistan is refusing to accept its antics and invasions and is trying to confuse the world.
Pakistan is saying that we have attacked Nankana Sahib. Pakistan is trying to give religious color to this matter. This is what has appeared in the Pahalgam attack.
Some Sikh members have also died in the attack on the gurudwara. Pakistan is saying that we are attacking our own cities, it is just imagination.
Misri said- Indian cities, civic buildings and some military bases were targeted in the action that instigated and stressed from Pakistan last night. Indian Armed Forces have responded to this, adopting the responsible stance. These attacks are denying Pakistan, while the machinery of the Government of Pakistan has been used. This shows the dual mentality of the Pakistani.
Pakistan attacked Poonch’s gurudwara
Pakistan is claiming that it is not attacking any religious institution or building. You will remember that I showed you the picture yesterday. In this, a gurudwara was attacked in Poonch. Instead of taking their responsibility, Pakistan is saying that Indian forces and Air Force are attacking their own cities and are blaming Pakistan.
This is nothing else, Pakistan’s effort not to take responsibility for these attacks. It is true that Pakistan is trying to make the world try, its effort will not be successful. The Gurudwara of Poonch was attacked by Pakistan and some people from the Sikh community, including the ragi of the gurudwara, lost their lives. You can see pictures of this attack on TV. This is that we are attacking our own cities, this is just the imagination of Pakistan. They can do this, because this is their history.
Pakistan is saying that India is attacking a drone on Nankana Sahib Gurdwara. It is only part of Pakistan’s propaganda campaign. This campaign has been started by Pakistan since the time of Pahalgam attack. He has been trying to give religious color to these situations from the beginning. We are not surprised, but India’s unity is a challenge for Pakistan.
