Pakistan military spokesperson Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry has told a news conference that “We will not de-escalate – with the damages India did on our side, they should take a hit”.
“So far we have been protecting ourselves but they will get an answer in our own timing,” the spokesperson added, reports Al Jazeera.
Meanwhile, Pakistani military sources confirmed to news agency AFP on Friday that 77 Indian drones were shot down over two days, as the nuclear-armed neighbours have been exchanging attacks since Tuesday night.
"On May 8, Pakistan shot down 29 Indian drones, while 48 drones were destroyed overnight," Pakistani state television PTV News reported, with Pakistani military sources confirming the figure to AFP.
