ISLAMABAD, May 7 (Xinhua) -- The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has shot down another Indian jet in response to Indian missile strikes at six locations in Pakistan that killed at least eight people and injured 35 others, sources from the Pakistani military said on Wednesday.
This was the fifth Indian jet that has been shot down in response to the Indian overnight strikes, said the military sources, adding that four Indian quadcopters were destroyed at two locations in Pakistan for violating the country's airspace.
Pakistan condemned India's unprovoked and blatant act of war and violation of Pakistan's sovereignty.
In a statement, Pakistani Foreign Office spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan said that the Indian Air Force has violated Pakistan's sovereignty using standoff weapons, targeting civilian population across international border in Bahawalpur and Sheikhupura districts in Pakistan's eastern Punjab province, as well as Muzaffarabad, Bagh, and Kotli districts in the Pakistan-controlled Kashmir. ■
