One jet each was brought down in General Area Bhatinda, Jammu, Akhnoor and Srinagar, while two were shot down in Avantipur, according to Gen Chaudhry.

He said: “The Pakistan Air Force brought these jets down when they attacked Pakistan, only after they released their weapons. They were engaged and shot at once they took on unprovoked and uncalled-for aggression against the state, the territorial integrity and innocent people of Pakistan by firing at them.

“It should also be noted that the Pakistan Armed Forces could have shot at even more than 10 of their aircraft but we exercised restraint,” the DG ISPR added.
