35-40 Pakistani Soldiers Neutralized
During a defense press conference held on Monday, Lieutenant General Rajeev Ghai stated that 35-40 Pakistani soldiers were neutralized in combat and their objectives were accomplished. Officials also mentioned that all of India's military bases and systems are fully operational and ready to execute any mission if necessary.
Lieutenant General Rajeev Ghai also stated that the Indian Armed Forces sent a 'hotline message' to the Pakistani side on Sunday, highlighting the breach of military consent agreed upon a day earlier. He cautioned that if this occurs again, India will take decisive action.
He emphasized that the Indian Armed Forces have exercised 'great restraint' so far, and 'our actions have been focused, measured, and non-escalatory.'
Ghai stated, 'However, any threat to our citizens' sovereignty, territorial integrity, and security will be met with full strength.'
