Pakistan’s Decisive Response to India, 26 Targets Hit, Truth Unveiled – DG ISPR

Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, said in an interview with Al Jazeera that the Pakistan Army has delivered a strong and unforgettable message to India.

Referring to a recent military escalation, General Chaudhry said, “We selected 26 targets and successfully hit all of them.” He emphasized that Pakistan stood by the truth and didn’t resort to lies or distorted facts — in contrast to the Indian government and media that continue to build “fictional narratives.”

He dismissed Indian allegations linking Pakistan to the Golden Temple attack, calling them absurd and completely against Pakistan’s values and beliefs.

DG ISPR stated that in response to Indian aggression, Pakistan erected a “steel wall of resistance.” Despite not having an $80 billion defense budget like India, he noted that Pakistan effectively responded using indigenously developed JF-17 fighter jets and missiles.

Warning of the catastrophic risk of war between nuclear-armed states, he said India has long been pushing the region toward instability, but Pakistan will never succumb to pressure or dominance.

General Chaudhry also revealed that Pakistan holds undisclosed military capabilities that have not yet been revealed. He said, “Our strategic response forced India to call for de-escalation.”

He concluded by asserting that peace in South Asia is not possible without a fair and just solution to the Kashmir conflict.
