New Delhi: Pakistan has once again faced international embarrassment after their army official conducted a press conference on late Sunday. Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Lt. Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhary said Pakistan armed forces targeted 26 Indian military facilities and claimed to take down 84 Indian drones.
The targets included air force and aviation bases in Suratgarh, Sirsa, Bhuj, Naliya, Adampur, Bathinda, Barnala, Halwara, Awantipora, Srinagar, Jammu, Udhampur, Mamon, Ambala, and Pathanpur, the Pakistan army official claimed that all these cities sustained major damages in his media briefing.
Furthermore, he alleged that S-400 and Brahmos missiles were destroyed at two locations. He said those missiles were fired by the Indian Army and it killed their civilians.
These claims by Pakistan’s ISPR Director General were made on the same day when Indian armed forces held its press conference. Director General of Military Operation (DGMO) Lt. Gen Rajiv Ghai said that over 100 terrorists were killed in the Operation Sindoor, which was a retaliation from the Indian armed forces in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack.
Additionally, the DGMO said that 35-40 Pakistan military personnel were killed in artillery and small arms firings on the Line of Control (LOC) between May 7 and May 10.
A day after both India and Pakistan army officials completed their respective media briefings, Sky News Australia published a video on its YouTube and Facebook handles with the title ‘Pakistan ridiculed after imitating India’s press conference in another blow to the struggling side’.
In the video story, the international outlet said that ‘Pakistan has yet again once again been humiliated in their conflict against India’. After playing the press conference of Pakistan ISPR Director General, Sky News showed a couple of ridiculing posts questioning the Pakistan armed forces for not providing substantial evidence to back their claims unlike India. Lack of videos, footage or proof was pointed out and Pakistan was mocked for relying on social media to back its dubious claims.
On Saturday (May 10), India and Pakistan agreed to ceasefire four days after cross-border firings. The agreement directed both armed forces to stop firings and military action with immediate actions, though India accused Pakistan to violate the ceasefire hours after getting into the understanding.
