DG ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry has said that anything that “comes from the east, we have an eye on it” amid the recent escalation with India.

He added: “Anything that is moving or anything that is coming, it is being monitored and being taken out.”

Talking about the projectile coming towards Pakistan, he said “we were watching it very carefully […] its trajectory, its height”. “The weapons system is there to take it out,” he added.

“It appears to be a missile, the forensics are being done to ascertain that,” he said of the debris from the projectile.
