A 7 -year -old boy, Irstiza Abbas Turi, son of Lieutenant Colonel of the Pakistan Army, Zaheer Abbas Turi, was martyred during the Indian air attacks that hit several civil areas in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab.
In an earlier press conference in the day, Lieutenant General of DG ISPR, Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, confirmed that the Indian air attacks had killed 26 civilians and wounded another 46. He pointed out that India attacked areas in Muzaffrabad, Kotli, Mueridke and Ahmedpur Sharqia.
The military spokesman said that the Pakistani forces responded by demolishing five Indian combat planes and a drone. “The misunderstanding of India will be corrected,” he said, promising that any future aggression would meet all his strength.
Meanwhile, the National Security Committee (NSC) authorized on Wednesday to the Armed Forces of Pakistan to take corresponding actions in response to Indian air attacks that went to multiple civil areas.
The NSC statement comes after the coordinated attacks of missiles, air and drones launched by the Indian Armed Forces during the night of May 6 to 7.
The forum also pointed out that the act of aggression of India also caused serious danger to commercial airlines that belong to the gulf fraternal countries, endangering the lives of thousands of passengers on board. In addition, the Neelum-Jhelum hydroelectric project was also deliberately directed in violation of international conventions.
NSC described the attacks “War acts not caused, cowardly and illegal”, and emphasized that the right to respond under article 51 of the UN Charter, which affirms the right of a Member State to the self -defense, is reserved.
The air attacks in India occurred in the midst of the tensions between the two nuclear armed neighbors after the attack in the Pahalgam area of Jammu and Kashmir (Iiojk) of India, which resulted in multiple casualties. India blamed Pakistan for the attack without providing evidence, an accusation that Islamabad has firmly rejected.
