Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has said that yesterday’s Indian drone attacks were aimed at detecting locations inside Pakistan. “This is the reason why the drones were not intercepted so that our locations are not leaked.”

“And when they [drones] were at a safe limit, we shot them down,” he elaborated.

Asif stated that the Parliament was being informed about the developing situation and this would continue. “No one should doubt that our armed forces are fully engaged in responding to the Indian aggression.”

“We want to assure the nation that we are 200 per cent prepared to respond to the current situation,” he affirmed, adding that everyone’s morale was high.
