Wanna catch up on all the juicy details? Here's a quick rundown: 🤓
India is claiming they blasted three Pakistani airbases - Nur Khan in Rawalpindi, Murid in Chakwal, and Rafiqui in Jhang - in an overnight attack. Crazy, right? This action allegedly happened just hours after Pakistani drones were spotted making nuisance appearances in 26 different locations across multiple Indian states.
But here's the thing: India says they monitored and primed those bothersome drones, making it a pretty clear-cut case of self-defense. Now we're just waiting to see if Pakistan takes the high road (or the low one) in response. 🎯✔️
Let's backtrack a bit, shall we? It all began when Pakistan military spokesperson, Lt Gen Ahmad Sharif Chaudhry, dropped a bomb (figuratively speaking) by making these claims during a Friday morning press conference.
Here are some additional tidbits to chew on:
