Indian defence minister Rajnath Singh has claimed that India’s overnight attacks on Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir did not harm civilians, contradicting Pakistani government claims of civilian casualties, reports Al Jazeera.
“We only hit those who killed innocents,” the defence minister was quoted as saying by The Times of India.
“Under the guidance of PM Narendra Modi, our Indian armed forces have made us all proud,” he added.
As we previously reported, Pakistan’s National Security Committee issued a statement accusing India of “unjustified attacks” that “deliberately targeted the civilian areas, on the false pretext of presence of imaginary terrorist camps”.
