ISLAMABAD: (Web Desk) Information Minister Attaullah Tarar has claimed that the armed forces of Pakistan killed “40 to 50 Indian soldiers” across the Line of Control, Reuters reports.

It further quoted the minister as saying: “We have blown their (Indian) military installations.”

He maintained that the Indian drones shot down by the armed forces of Pakistan are Pakistan’s “war trophy”, which will “be kept in museums”.

In a speech on the floor of the National Assembly, the information minister said, “We will show them to our children and tell them that when India failed with its jets, it used drones.”

India also suffered heavy losses on the Line of Control, he said and highlighted that it was a big achievement for Pakistan when it comes to conventional warfare. “You will find very few examples of this in the world,” he noted.

Tarar said, “This is what you call a befitting response.”

Meanwhile, Pakistan Army has condemned India’s cowardly and unprovoked attack on the homeland, promising that “we will ensure the defence of our country’s security and sovereignty at any price.”

In a powerful news briefing, Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry revealed that 31 innocent Pakistani civilians were martyred and 57 more were wounded in the surprise assault. He warned, “No amount of condemnation is enough for this heinous act—India’s true face is now exposed for the world to see.” He called out the “small-minded enemy” for deliberately targeting unarmed citizens, even children, and asked, “Since when does killing innocent kids make a nation brave?”

Shockingly, the Indian strike hit mosques and desecrated copies of the Holy Quran—acts he labeled as pure terrorism. “Which faith allows worship places to be attacked? This is beyond savage,” he stressed, urging global outrage at these war-crime levels of violence.

But Pakistan did not stand by silently. The DG ISPR proudly announced that the Pakistan Air Force “treated India’s modern warplanes to a dust-bathing,” shooting them down before they could escape. On the ground, our troops struck back with precision: only military targets were hit, and several enemy check posts along the Line of Control were destroyed. Yet, despite India’s ongoing unprovoked shelling, not a single Pakistani soldier lost their life, and none of our aircraft were damaged.

Curious how Pakistan shot down seven Indian drones without a scratch? Or how 57 international passenger flights were forced into harm’s way above Pakistani airspace? General Chaudhry revealed that India risked hundreds of civilian lives mid-air, and even shelled the Neelum-Jhelum hydropower project—flagrantly violating the Geneva Conventions that strictly protect water reservoirs.

In a striking show of unity, Pakistan’s National Security Committee has granted our armed forces full authority to deliver a strong response to any future Indian aggression. “Let no one mistake our will for peace as weakness,” he warned. He saluted the nation’s unwavering support for the military and vowed: “We will account for every last drop of blood spilled by our brave people.”
