Following the news, the analysts and politicians condemned the act of LoC violation and said the IAF actually loaded off the fuel tanks to rush back to India.
Indian incursion across the LOC is strategically ill-advised & tactically pointless #PakistanArmy #PakAirForce clearly on alert. Such moves only ratchet up tensions in a region bristling with anger.Obvious that #Modi’s election wardrums make prospects for talks collateral damage

What a claim: 12 fighter aircraft, dropped a mere 1000 kg bombs, and before heading back from #Balakot they also counted 300 dead bodies in the dark of early morning. Quite a stunning script of a Bollywood film

Firstly, the alleged terrorist camps in Pakistan are nothing but a figment of Modi’s imagination.
Secondly, the only thing the IAF dropped were fuel tanks, b/c they had to reduce the weight of their aircrafts & run back to their bases as PAF jets were about to shoot them down😊— Ali Haider Zaidi (@AliHZaidiPTI) February 26, 2019
#Indian media as usual lying 2 the teeth misleading Indians claiming another so-called surgical strike across LOC by 🇮🇳
But 🇵🇰 does not give a SHUT 2 lies of 🇮🇳.
It is their choice 2 deceive themselves
but 🇵🇰’s DETERRENCE is as credible. They would hv run 4 money…if…..

India claiming squadron strength strike from 12 Mirages in Balakot, a heavily populated/connected area I was in last week for a doc.
No chatter from civilians so far.
No reports of casualties.
No pics on social.
ISPR claims, with pics, not much was damaged.
War? Or worse?
