ISLAMABAD, FEB 26 (DNA) -Foreign Minister, Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi, briefed the members of the diplomatic corps about the Indian violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity on Tuesday when at approximately 0254 hours, 6-8 Indian aircraft were effectively intercepted by Pakistani Air Force Jets and forced to scuttle back while randomly releasing their ordnance which landed in uninhabited remote area.

It was emphasized that Pakistan reserves its right to respond against Indian aggression.
