Overview
- ISPR issued a statement from Rawalpindi condemning what it called delusional, fabricated and provocative claims by Indian military leaders using “Bollywood-style” scripts.
- The rebuttal referenced Indian media reports quoting DGMO Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai alleging more than 100 Pakistani military casualties in May and Western Army Commander Lt Gen Manoj Kumar Katiyar invoking “Operation Sindoor 2.0.”
- Pakistan reiterated its narrative of the May clashes it labels Marka‑e‑Haq, asserting seven Indian Air Force jets were shot down, while acknowledging 13 Pakistani military personnel and 40 civilians were killed in Indian strikes.
- The statement asserted that international opinion increasingly sees India as a source of cross-border terrorism and a center of regional instability.
- ISPR warned that reckless rhetoric could fuel “war fever” and said any act of aggression would be met with a swift, resolute response, while urging Indian leaders to desist from escalation.
