Fresh Take:
foreign secretary slaps down pakistan's claim about indian missile strike in afghanistan
In today's press conference about Operation Sindoor, Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri put a stop to Pakistan's tales of Indian missiles slamming into Afghanistan.
Latest News Flash Stay Tuned India's been having regular press conferences about Operation Sindoor, and in today's roundup, our guy Misri flat-out called out Pakistan's whoppers as "BAA-LE-GAA-NAA-LE-KAY!" He made it clear that no Indian missiles hit Afghan soil.
"There's this whackjob claim that Indian missiles have struck Afghanistan. Absolutely ridiculous. I just wanna point out that the Afghan folks don't need reminding about which nation has been targeting their territory on the regular these past 1.5 years," Misri said.
Misri shut down Pakistan's allegations about bombing airbases, declaring them as a cesspool of lies, misinformation, and propaganda. He added that the claims about attacking and destroying various places, military installations, and facilities are pure balderdash.
He also squashed rumors about airbase destruction in Sirsa and Suratgarh, as well as speculation about the S-400 air defense system in Adampur being damaged.
More on Operation Sindoor: Misri also made it crystal clear that Pakistan didn't hack into India's power grid, and there were no power outages as some claimed.
"I'd advise everyone out there not to fall for this ticker of tall tales peddled by Pakistan for their own twisted purposes," he stressed.
He also mentioned that Pakistan has been targeting civilians relentlessly, with Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab taking the brunt of the attacks. Pakistan is attempting to "spread dissent among Indian communities," he mentioned.
It's worth noting that the spokesperson for Pakistan's Army, Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, happens to be the son of Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood. Mahmood is a UN-designated global terrorist. He lives in secret in Islamabad, and he's known to have ties to Al-Qaeda. He's believed to have supplied Osama bin Laden with information related to chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons.
