00:00Vikram Mishri, Foreign Secretary, taken to his seat, of course, with Colonel Sophia Qureshi,

00:05Wing Commander, Vyomika Singh. The two are again back for one of the most awaited press conference.

00:12Let's begin.

00:13Press briefing by Foreign Secretary, Sri Vikram Mishri, on the ongoing developments around

00:18Operations in Noor. We are also joined by Colonel Sophia Qureshi and Wing Commander,

00:24Vyomika Singh, for this briefing. With that, sir, the floor is over to you.

00:28Thank you. Anandir, good morning. Namaskar. Sorry to keep you all waiting.

00:37Jaisa ke hum vichle dotheen press briefings mein bhi bata chukke hai, ye pakistani gati vidya hai vichle dotheen din se,

00:48joh ek escalatory tor pe dekhi ja rahi hai, aur provocative tor pe dekhi ja rahi hai.

00:57I have said on numerous earlier occasions, it is Pakistani actions that have constituted provocation

01:06and escalation. In response, and I repeat, in response, India has defended and reacted in a

01:18responsible and measured fashion to these provocations and these escalations by the Pakistani side.

01:26Earlier this morning, we saw a repeat of this escalatory and provocative pattern.

01:33And I will invite Colonel Sophia Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh to update you on the

01:39development since early this morning. Colonel Qureshi.

01:42Thank you, sir. Namaskar.

01:45A.T.

01:54।

02:24फिर भी वायू सेना स्टेशनों पर उधंपूर, पठान कोट, आदंपूर और भुच बटिंडा स्टेशन इन सब पर उपकरण वा पस्टनल्स को हानी पहुँचाई है

02:37मैं ये भी बताना चाहती हूँ कि पाकिस्तान ने हाई स्पीड मिजाईल सुभा एक बचके चालिज मिनस्ट पर इस्तिमाल करके पंजाब के एजबेस स्टेशन को दागने की कोशिश की

02:49एक निंदनिये और अन्प्रोफेशनल एक के तहट पाकिस्तान ने शीर नगर अवंतिपुर और उधंपुर के वाईू सेना अड़ों पर चिकित्सा केंड और स्कूल परिसर को निशाना भी बनाया

03:05जिस से उसके दोरा सिविल इंफ्रस्रक्टर पर हमला करने की गैर जिम्मेदाराना प्रवर्टी फिर उजागर हुई

03:13पाकिस्तान दोरा सैने टुकानों को जान बुश कर निशाना बनाने के पश्चात भारतिये शशद बलों ने त्वरित वस्तुनियो जित जवाबी हमले के टेक्निकले इंसॉलेशन, कमान अन कंट्रोल सेंटर, रडार साइज और हत्यार भंडार को चुन कर निशाना बनाया

03:43सटीक हत्यारों वर लडाकूं जट से प्रहार किये गए। पस्रूर सित रडार साइज और स्याल कोड का एविशन बेज भी प्रिसिजन अमिनिशन से सार्गेट किये गए। इन कारवाईयों के दौरान भारत ने कम से कम कोलेटरल डामेश की, छती सुनिशित की।

04:03चिंता का विशय यह रहा है कि पाकिस्तान ने लाहोर से उडान भरने वाले नागरिक विमानों की आर लेकर अंतराश्टिये हवाई मार्गों का दुरुप्योग किया, ताकि वे अपनी जटिविदियां छिपा सके।

04:19ऐसी चालों ने भारती वायू प्रतिक्षा तंडर को नागरिक सुरक्षा सुनिशित करते हुए अत्यधिक सयम के साथ कारे करने के लिए विवश्च किया।

04:30साथी साथ पाकिस्तान ने मिस इन्फोर्मेशन का सहारा लेते हुए आदमपुर सिर्थ, S-400 प्रणाली, सूरतगड़, वा सिर्चर के हवाई अड़ों, नगरोटा के ब्रहमोज बेज, देहरागरी के तो खाना पोजिशन तता चंदिगड़ के अग्रिम गोला बारूज ड

05:00ये अंतरन रेखा पर पाकिस्तान ने ब्रोन गुस्पैट और भारी तोप खाना गोला बारी के कई प्रयाश किये, कुपवाड़ा, बारा मुला, पुंच, राजवरी और अकनूर सेक्टरस में तोप, मोटार एवं हलके हत्यानों से भीशन गोला बारी जारी रहे

05:21भारती सेना ने प्रभावी वत्तुल नात्मक प्रति उत्तर देते हुए पाक सेना को काफी शती पहुँचाई

05:29पाकिस्तान सेना के अग्रिम शेत्रों में सेनिकों की डिप्लॉइमेंट बढ़ती दिख रही है, जो सती को और भढ़काने की मन्शा दर्शाती है

05:41भारती शत्रबल पूर्ण परिचालन तस्परता की सती में हैं, अभी तक सभी शत्रुता पूर्ण कारवाईयों का प्रभावी ढंक से सामना कर उप्युक्त जवाब दिया गया है

05:54भारती शत्रबल दोहराते हैं कि वे तनाव व्रद्धी नहीं चाहते

06:00बश्रते पाकिस्तान भी ऐसा ही वहवार करे

06:05आखिर मैं आपको कुछ वीडियो दिखाना चाहते हूँ, जहां पर इंडियन आमीर के वैपन्स एलोसी पर पाक के एसेट्स को द्वस्त करते नजर आ रहे हैं

06:30स्क्रीन में आप देख सकते हैं इस वीडियो को

06:56धन्यवाद जैहन

06:57Pakistan military continued with its provocations, carrying out aggressive actions employing multiple threat vectors all along the western border. Pakistan employed UCAB, drones, long-range weapons, loitering munitions and fighter aircraft to target civilian area and military infrastructure. Pakistan

07:23military also resorted to air intrusions using drones and firing of heavy, heavy caliber weapons

07:29along the line of control.

07:32Along the international border and the line of control, air intrusions and several harassment

07:37attacks were also attempted from Srinagar till Naliyah at more than 26 locations.

07:44Indian armed forces successfully neutralized these threats and majority of the vectors.

07:49However, limited damage was sustained to equipment and personnel at Indian Air Force stations at Udampur, Pathankot, Adampur and Bhuj.

07:59There were also several high-speed missile attacks noticed subsequently after 0140 hours in the night at several air bases in Punjab.

08:10In a deplorable, deplorable, cowardly act, targeting of civilian infrastructure also was taken, had taken place where Pakistan attacked the Medicare center and school premises at the air bases of Srinagar,

08:26Avantipur and Udampur, yet again displaying irresponsible targeting of our civilian infrastructure.

08:33In a swift and calibrated response, Indian armed forces carried out precision attacks only on identified military targets.

08:42These included technical infrastructure, command and control centers, radar sites and weapon storage areas.

08:50Pakistan military targets as Rafiki, Murid, Chaklala, Raheem Yaar Khan, Sukur and Chunya were engaged using air-launched precision weapons from our fighter aircraft.

09:02Radar sites at Pasroor and Sialkot Aviation Base were also targeted using precision munitions.

09:10While carrying out these responses, India ensured minimum collateral damage.

09:15Pakistan has also attempted to execute a continued malicious misinformation campaign with claims of destruction of Indian S-400 system at Adampur,

09:27destruction of air fields at Suratgarh and Sirsa,

09:31Brahmo space at Nagrota, RT gun positions at Deirang Yari and Chandigarh forward ammunition depot,

09:39with heavy damages to other military stations being propagated on social media.

09:45India unequivocally rejects these false narratives being spread by Pakistan.

09:50Along the line of control also, Pakistan has attempted multiple air intrusions using drones and conducted shelling using heavy calibrated RT guns targeting civilian infrastructure and killing some civilians.

10:05Heavy exchange of artillery motors and small armed fire in Kupwara, Baramula, Poonch, Rajauri and Aknoor sectors continued.

10:15Indian Army has responded effectively and proportionately causing extensive damage to Pakistan Army.

10:22Park military has been observed to be moving their troops into forward areas, indicating offensive intent to further escalate the situation.

10:32Indian armed forces remain in a high state of operational readiness.

10:36All hostile actions have been effectively countered and responded appropriately.

10:42Indian armed forces reiterate their commitment to non-escalation, provided it is reciprocated by the Pakistan military.

10:50At the end, I would also like to show you a few images of air force bases in the Punjab sector and the Rajasthan sector,

10:58where it is mighty clear that we are debunking the Pakistani claims of causing destruction at these air bases.

11:06You can yourself see the normalcy at these air force stations.

11:09This is Sirsa.

11:10Surabya.

11:31Thank you very much.

11:35Thank you, Kanuku Reishi.

11:36Thank you, Win Commander Singh.

11:37I just have a few points to make in closing.

11:58First of all, as you have seen, Pakistani claims about activities that they have undertaken

12:10continue to be heavy on lies, misinformation and propaganda.

12:16And on top of that, this is peddled by Pakistani state agency.

12:23The claims that they have made about attacking and destroying various places, various military

12:31installations and facilities, as has been pointed out by my colleagues here this morning,

12:37are completely false.

12:39The claim about the Air Force station in Sirsa being destroyed, completely false, as you have

12:46seen.

12:47The claim about the Air Force station in Suratgat being destroyed, completely false again,

12:51as you have seen.

12:52There is a claim that has been made that the S-400 base at Adampur was destroyed, completely

12:57false, once again.

12:59Claims have been made about large sections of Indian critical infrastructure, power systems,

13:07cyber systems, et cetera, being attacked and destroyed, completely false.

13:12I would urge all of you and all those who watch this not to be misled by this tissue of lies

13:22that is being peddled by the Pakistani state for obvious purposes.

13:28The second point that I wanted to emphasize is that Pakistan continues with its execrable

13:35and wanton campaign of targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, especially in the

13:43states of Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab.

13:45There is also, on its part, a consistent attempt to sow discord between communities in India.

13:53As I said, there has been a particular focus in its targeting of civilian infrastructure

13:58and the population in Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab.

14:03Earlier this morning, Pakistan shelled the town of Rajauri, killing the additional District

14:07Development Commissioner, Shri Rajkumar Thappa, adding to the civilian casualties and the damage in that state.

14:16We have also observed overnight damage to property and injuries to civilians in Firozpur and Jalandhar, among other places.

14:26Finally, as I said, Pakistani officials also continue to make ludicrous claims about India firing missiles towards Shri Amritsar Sahir.

14:38As I said, these lame attempts to divide India are doomed to failure.

14:45We have also seen in some of the remarks that have been shown on television that the Pakistani army spokesman

14:56seems to take great joy at the fact that the Indian public should criticize the government of India with regard to various issues.

15:06It may be a surprise to Pakistan to see citizens criticizing their own government.

15:14That is the hallmark of an open and functioning democracy.

15:19Pakistan's unfamiliarity with that, again, should not be surprising.

15:25And finally, there is this yet again completely ludicrous claim that Indian missiles have hit Afghanistan.

15:35This is a totally frivolous allegation, and I only want to point out that Afghan people don't need to be reminded about which country it is that has on multiple occasions in just the last one and a half years targeted civilian populations and civilian infrastructure in Afghanistan.

15:55Ladies and gentlemen, as you would have gathered from this morning's briefing, we are dealing with an evolving situation.

16:04Accordingly, today, we do not have the time to take questions, but we will continue to update you on this situation as we go along.

16:13Thank you all very much for joining us this morning.

16:15Thank you all very much for joining us.

16:16Thank you very much.
