Indian aircraft violate Pakistani airspace

Pakistan Air Force says that two Indian aircraft violated the country’s airspace and entered the country’s Punjab province on Tuesday.

“Two high speed Indian aircraft violated Pakistani Airspace by 03 nautical miles at about 1040 hours in Attari, Fazilka sector. The aircraft stayed inside Pakistani airspace for about 02 minutes,” a PAF spokesman said.        

Pakistan Air Force initiated prompt tactical actions and scrambled two fighter aircraft to challenge the intruders, he said in a statement.

“Upon PAF actions, Indian aircraft exited the Pakistani airspace,” the statement said.

There was no immediate reaction from Indian side about the alleged violation.

Airspace violation by Pakistan and India is rare, however, both countries routinely usually accuse each other of violation of intrusion and ceasefire violation in the disputed Kashmir region.
