Indian violation of LOC, attack in Balakot
On Tuesday, Indian jets intruded Pakistan’s airspace from the Muzzafarabad sector but were turned away dropping payload in haste after the Pakistan Air Force went on chase. The Indian media claims to have killed 350 ‘terrorists’ via their airstrikes during ’21 minute stay’ in the country’s airspace.

Pakistan rejected the claims saying that only a few trees were damaged and one person was injured. Pakistan also said that India must ready itself for a surprise and that the country will respond at the right time and place.
Later in the day, there were reports of Indian aggression along the LOC which resulted in civilian casualties in the Sialkot sector.
