DG ISPR Maj Gen Babar Iftikhar said that something had violated Pakistani air space from India on March 9.

Addressing a press conference on Thursday, he said that the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) monitored the object thoroughly. "As a responsible nation, we did no provocation. Our investigations are underway to ascertain whether it was missile or something else. It covered the distance of 260 kilometers at an altitude of 40,000 feet. The object coming from India was supersonic," he said.

He said that all information has been given to the Foreign Office and the issue would be raised at the international level.

Maj Gen Babar Iftikhar said that India will have to answer whatever the reason will be. "Pakistan condemns violation of her air limit. No human loss occurred in the incident and only a wall collapsed in it," he maintained.

Replying to a question, he said that the Pak Army has nothing to do with politics. "It is so and will remain so." He said that no US tour of COAS General Qamar Bajwa and the DG ISI is scheduled.

He declared that 80 terrorists have been killed during the last few weeks.
