Yesterday, Indian Jets entered Pakistan-controlled side of Kashmir on Tuesday at 3:30 am in the morning.
However, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) successfully responded and thwarted the incursion into the airspace.
Following the violation, Prime Minister Imran Khan had summoned an emergency, high-level meeting to discuss the situation.
The forum decided that Pakistan will respond to India with its preferred time and place of choice.
This is a developing story.
