Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has claimed that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is facing intense pressure both inside and outside parliament. "Modi’s days are numbered. His popularity is waning, and people are speaking out against him,” he said. Asif alleged that Modi has lost control over Indian politics and that the situation is now beyond his grasp. He also accused India of spreading terrorism internationally, citing attacks on Sikh leaders in Canada. He emphasized that future talks with India must include issues of terrorism, Kashmir, and water treaties.

Pakistan’s Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) reported that 11 Pakistani soldiers were killed and 78 others injured while defending the country against what they described as India’s “unprovoked and cowardly aggression.” The offensive also resulted in the deaths of 40 civilians, including 7 women and 15 children, and injured 121 more. Meanwhile, the Indian Army confirmed that at least five of their soldiers were killed in Pakistani attacks.

Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, spokesperson for the Pakistan Army, claimed that the ceasefire request came from India, not Pakistan, and was brokered through U.S. mediation. He stated, “This was a conflict that could have affected 1.6 billion lives. Those who push for war only serve narrow political interests.” He reiterated Pakistan’s stance that the Kashmir dispute must be resolved under UN resolutions and in accordance with the wishes of the Kashmiri people.

Shortly after agreeing to a comprehensive and immediate ceasefire with India, Pakistan's Civil Aviation Authority announced the reopening of its airspace for all types of flights. All airports across the country are now fully operational. Pakistan’s Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar earlier confirmed the ceasefire via a tweet, stating that both nations had agreed to an immediate cessation of hostilities.

Pakistan conducted a cyberattack targeting India’s power grid and missile storage facilities, according to its military. The operation utilized Fateh-1 medium-range missiles and other weapons. Pakistan claims the targeted sites were used for planning attacks on Pakistani citizens, including mosques and religious centers.

Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif has claimed that India stands isolated on the global stage, with Israel being its only clear ally. “Most countries around the world have taken a neutral stance on the current situation,” Asif said. He highlighted that among Pakistan’s allies, China, Turkey, and Azerbaijan have expressed unequivocal support for Pakistan. The Pakistani government remains in daily contact with key partners including Iran, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, China, and Qatar. Meanwhile, the Indian Army has alleged that the Pakistan Army launched coordinated attacks along the western border on the nights of May 8 and 9, using drones and missiles to target Jammu, Udhampur, and Pathankot in Punjab. Islamabad has denied these claims.

At least six people were killed and 29 others injured in overnight shelling by Indian forces along the Line of Control (LoC) and surrounding areas of Pakistan-administered Kashmir, officials said on Friday. Among the injured were nine women and three children.

Since the escalation began on Wednesday, a total of 17 people have been killed and 51 injured in cross-border shelling. Local authorities also reported damage to 139 residential homes, either partially or completely destroyed due to the ongoing conflict.

Pakistan’s military has claimed that it has destroyed 77 Indian drones, including 25 Israeli-made models, for violating its airspace. According to Sama TV, six more drones were shot down on Friday across several districts in Punjab province. Military sources confirmed that the drones were detected by radar systems before being intercepted by air defense units.

Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, spokesperson for the Pakistan Armed Forces, stated, “Every drone that enters our airspace is detected on radar. Our air defense system is capable of tracking even small drones.”

Authorities reported that most of the drones crashed in agricultural fields, minimizing potential damage. However, the drone incidents have caused civilian casualties — three people were killed, and seven others, including four soldiers, were injured.

A scheduled Pakistan Super League (PSL) match between Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings in Rawalpindi was disrupted by a sudden drone attack near the stadium Thursday morning. Bangladesh pacer Nahid Rana was set to play for Peshawar. The PCB has now convened an emergency meeting and may relocate all remaining PSL matches to Karachi. Reports suggest similar drone attacks occurred across several Pakistani cities earlier in the day.

India reported that 16 of its citizens, including three women and five children, were killed in unprovoked shelling by Pakistan along the Line of Control (LoC) on Wednesday. Mortars and heavy artillery were allegedly fired across sectors in Jammu and Kashmir including Kupwara, Baramulla, Uri, Poonch, Mendhar, and Rajouri. India has called for an immediate ceasefire and claimed to have targeted several Pakistani air defense installations in retaliation. Pakistan, in turn, claimed it destroyed 25 Indian drones.

The US Consulate in Lahore issued an advisory urging American staff to seek shelter or evacuate areas near the city’s main airport, as local authorities began evacuating neighborhoods near conflict zones. The consulate stressed the need for vigilance and security precautions as regional tensions between India and Pakistan escalate.

Pakistan’s military claims it shot down 25 Israeli-made Heron drones deployed by India during a recent confrontation. The Pakistani armed forces say they fully utilized both “soft-kill” and “hard-kill” capabilities. The retaliatory strike, according to Pakistan, resulted in the destruction of five Indian fighter jets and casualties among Indian troops. The military has begun collecting debris from the downed drones across various regions and asserts its full readiness to respond to any further aggression.

Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar revealed that the national security advisors of India and Pakistan established contact following India’s recent airstrike. The communication aimed to de-escalate the situation. Pakistan’s NSA is Lt. Gen. Mohammad Asim Malik, Director General of ISI, while India’s NSA Ajit Doval has held the position since 2014.

Pakistan Army spokesperson Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif has confirmed that at least 31 civilians were killed in recent Indian missile and artillery attacks. He said 26 people were killed in missile strikes, while five others died due to artillery shelling. Additionally, 57 were injured. “This is a blatant violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty,” he said, adding that Pakistan has formally notified the UN Security Council and will respond as necessary. India claims it targeted and destroyed nine terrorist facilities, including bases of Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Pakistan claims to have destroyed an Indian army post in the Sritop area of the Mandal Sector along the India-Pakistan border. According to Geo News, the Pakistani army’s artillery strike enveloped the Indian post in smoke, thwarting any attempt to defend it. Heavy exchanges of fire have also taken place along the Line of Control, resulting in at least 10 deaths and over 30 injuries in Indian-administered Kashmir.
