The DG ISPR has said that 57 flights were in the air at the time of last night’s attacks by Indian forces, adding that they consisted of both international and domestic flights.

“There were multiple flights with thousands of passengers whose lives were put in grave danger. These were not just Pakistani flights, but there were Saudi flights, Qatari, Emirates, Etihad, Gulf Air, Chinese and Korean flights.”

He said India had thrust all these passengers into danger to “sacrifice them to its aggression”.
