Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Khan Gandapur condemned Indian aggression against Pakistan and said the armed forces were ready to deliver a befitting response to the “enemy.”

“The nation stands by their armed forces to give a befitting reply to the enemy’s aggression. We will give the enemy a response that its coming generations will remember,” Mr Gandapur said in a statement issued by the Chief Minister’s Secretariat.

The chief minister paid tribute to the security forces for thwarting the “evil intentions of the enemy by shooting down the drones fired by India” and said the Indian government had been trying to target the civilian population in Pakistan for the last two days, which was an extremely shameful, condemnable act.

He said that attacking civilian population was a serious violation of international laws.
