Islamabad: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar Advocate says that Pakistan has carried out strikes on 26 locations in India, inflicting significant losses on the enemy.

Talking to different news channels, Attaullah Tarar said that this demonstrates the strength of Pakistan's armed forces. He said the action was taken in self-defense and Pakistan's strong response was in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter.

The Information Minister said India was warned that any provocation will be met with a response and today their airbases have been destroyed.

Attaullah Tarar said the Indian Ministry of Defence has admitted that their military equipment was damaged. He said Pakistan targeted only military sites whereas India martyred civilians.

Meanwhile Attaullah Tarar has said responsibility rests with India to take a step back and de-escalate the situation.

In an interview with 'BBC News', he said Pakistan is not the aggressor and it only responded to the Indian aggression under Article fifty one of the UN Charter.

Attaullah Tarar mentioned that Pakistan exercised a lot of restraint but India for the last four days continued to attack our civilian population. He said we have just exercised our right to self defense.

The Information Minister said Pakistan did not attack the civilian population but the military installations. He said India attacked our civilians and we buried innocent persons including children and women.
