🇵🇰⚔️🇮🇳 Official Press Release: Pakistan Accuses India of Cross-Border Strikes, Vows Right to Self-Defense

Pakistan has condemned what it describes as unprovoked military strikes launched by India on its territory, resulting in civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure. The National Security Committee (NSC), led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, convened to discuss the developments and emphasize Pakistan’s right to respond in self-defense, according to an official press release.

On the night of May 6–7, 2025, Indian forces reportedly carried out missile, air, and drone strikes on various locations in Pakistan, including Sialkot, Bahawalpur, Muzaffarabad, and Kotli. According to Pakistani authorities, the attacks targeted civilian areas under the false pretext of striking alleged terrorist camps. Pakistan claims these strikes killed several civilians and caused significant damage to infrastructure, including mosques and the Neelum-Jhelum Hydropower Project.

In response to the attacks, Pakistan's military said it defended its territory and successfully downed five Indian aircraft, including drones. Pakistan’s National Security Committee condemned the actions, calling them violations of Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and reaffirmed the country’s commitment to defending its borders.

Pakistan has consistently rejected India’s claims of terrorist camps on its soil. The government also pointed out that it had offered to facilitate an independent investigation into these allegations but that India had not accepted the offer. International media had already visited the sites on May 6, with more visits scheduled for the following day.

The NSC statement emphasized that Pakistan would continue to exercise its right to self-defense, as outlined in the UN Charter, and authorized the military to take further action if necessary. The Pakistani government called on the international community to hold India accountable for what it described as violations of international law.
