Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has said India’s actions following the Pahalgam attack, and including last night’s airstrikes, look like a “choreographed exercise”.

“But time will tell what the reality is,” he said. The minister recalled that Pakistan received intel on a possible attack from India at around 10pm yesterday. “I want to clarify that Pakistan has exercised restraint even at the moment.

“There were instructions to only attack Indian jets that released a payload … this is why only five jets were taken down, if the direction had been otherwise, nearly 10-12 jets would have been struck down,” Dar said.
