“Let me tell you, Pakistan Armed Forces possess an adequate suite of very sophisticated, niche military tech, only some of which were used with restraint in this conflict. There are many more capabilities being kept as future surprises,” the DG ISPR said.

“Despite all this, let me say that compared to India’s relentless provocations, Pakistan’s military response has been precise, proportionate and still remarkably restrained.”

He added that it was carefully calibrated to avoid civilian casualties and exclusively targeted entities that were directly involved in executing killings and attacks inside Pakistan.
