PESHAWAR
\nThe recent unprovoked India\u2019s missiles and drones assaults mainly on civilan population in Pakistan and Azad Kashmir have been widely condemned in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa where security experts termed of pushing the South Asia into a brink of full fledge war.
\nThe latest drones aggression by the India signals a continuation of its longstanding hostile and provocative designs toward its western neighbour\u2014a pattern that has brought the subcontinent perilously close to full-scale war.
\nThe latest escalation began when Indian warplanes, including Rafale jets, have launched missile strikes mainly on civilian targets in Bahawalpur, Muridke, Kotli, Muzaffarabad etc, martyring civilians including children and women besides injuring dozens others.
\nThe blatant missle attack under cover of darkness was a sheer violations of inter state relations, UN charter and international law.
\nIn a swift and decisive response against India\u2019s blatent aggression, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) shot down five Indian aircraft, including three Rafale fighter jets and inflicted heavy losses to the enemy.
\nPAF have also neutralized several Indian drones that were reportedly launched soon after the aerial assault in several places of Punjab and Karachi to create fear and panic among people.
\n\u201cIndia\u2019s cowardly attack under the cover of darkness is a blatant violation of international law, UN charter and it has once again shown India\u2019s disregard for regional peace and human life,\u201d said Brigadier (R) Mahmood Shah, former Secretary Law and Order of the erstwhile Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).
\n \u201cThe downing of Indian five warplanes is a testament to the high professionalism and readiness of the Pakistan Air Force,\u201d he said, adding PAF has raised the nation\u2019s head high.
\nAccording to securty sources, India has launched Israeli-made Harop drones into Pakistani territory of Punjab and Karachi after India suffered colossal losses.
\nIn response, Pakistan\u2019s air defense units have successfully intercepted and destroyed 25 of these drones using both electronic and kinetic countermeasures.
\nThe recovered drone debris, found across multiple regions in Pakistan, is being examined for further intelligence.
\nBrigadier Mahmood Shah believed the use of such drones underlines India\u2019s increasing desperation and panic following significant losses along the Line of Control (LoC) and destruction of their expansive warplanes.
\nThe recent developments have reignited debate over the unresolved Kashmir issue\u2014a historical flashpoint that has led to multiple wars between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
\nBoth these countries have fought wars in 1947\u201348, 1965, 1971, and 1999 on Kashmir after India had illegally invaded in October 1947.
\nBrigadier Shah emphasized that Pakistan, as a responsible nuclear power, has demonstrated \u201cmaximum restraint\u201d despite repeated provocations by the Indian forces.
\n\u201cOur desire for peace must not be mistaken for weakness,\u201d he warned, urging the United Nations Security Council to enforce its long-standing resolutions on Kashmir.
\n\u201cThe road to lasting peace in South Asia passes through Kashmir,\u201d Shah stated and added that four wars were already fought on this lingering dispute and another war on it would bring disaster for the entire region.
\n \u201cIt is imperative that the international community holds India accountable for the recent misadventure and prevents the situation from spiraling into a full-scale nuclear war.\u201d
\nAs Pakistan maintain high alert along the LoC and beyond, the international community watches with growing concern the Indian unprovoked aggression.
\nHe said the coming days will prove critical for regional peace and stability as diplomatic channels work behind the scenes to de-escalate the situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
