The DG ISPR has said in an apparent reference to India that “if you are so fond of Pakistan firing at you, we will fulfil your demand at a time, place and means of our choosing.”

He asked India to “show the debris of at least [one downed] Pakistani aircraft or drone that Pakistan has fired” as evidence that Pakistan attacked India on the previous night across the international border.

The military spokesperson said that the Indian media’s claims were a “shame and a mockery of journalism”.
