In a rare admission, Pakistani military spokesperson and Director General of ISPR, Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, has confirmed that India carried out 24 missile attacks targeting terror camps inside Pakistan. Addressing a press conference at 4:08 AM on Wednesday, he stated, “India conducted a total of 24 attacks using various weapons, resulting in the death of 8 terrorists.” He specifically mentioned that four of these strikes took place near Subhan Mosque in Ahmadpur East, Bahawalpur.
