Pakistan바카라™s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday assured the nation of a response to India바카라™s 바카라˜Operation Sindoor바카라™, saying that the operation is a  바카라œblatant act of war바카라. India attacked terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir in the early hours of May 7.

"For the blatant mistake that India made last night, it will now have to pay the price," Sharif said in a televised address on state broadcaster PTV, Reuters reported. "Perhaps they thought that we would retreat, but they forgot that...this is a nation of brave people."

Sharif reiterated that Pakistan had nothing to do with the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed at least 26 civilians in India바카라™s Barshain valley in Jammu and Kashmir, further denouncing 바카라˜Operation Sindoor바카라™ as 바카라œcowardly바카라, according to Al Jazeera.

Pakistan has alleged that it struck down Indian fighter jets, a claim Indian embassy in China categorically rejected.  Sharif said that Pakistan was ready to 바카라œknock enemy planes off into the sea,바카라 according to media reports.

A National Security Committee meeting was convened in Pakistan yesterday, during which Pakistani officials condemned the 바카라œillegal acts바카라 of India, calling them as 바카라œblatant violations of Pakistan바카라™s sovereignty and territorial integrity,바카라 Al Jazeera reported.

바카라œThe deliberate targeting of civilians, including innocent women and children, by the Indian military constitutes a heinous and shameful crime, that is in violation of all norms of human behaviour and the provisions of international law,바카라 a committee statement stated.

Pakistan has said it would retaliate 바카라œat a time, place and manner of its choosing.바카라

India바카라™s Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that 바카라œThe Indian Armed Forces have responded with strength, precision, and restraint,바카라 and those who sponsor terror and shed innocent blood must know that 바카라œIndia will respond and respond decisively.바카라 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also chaired a cabinet meeting yesterday where he called the targeted military strike 'Operation Sindoor' launched by the bravehearts of the Indian Armed Forces a "moment of pride", as per reports.
