Pakistan’s military confirmed that Indian missiles targeted three air bases PAF Base Nur Khan, PAF Base Murid, and PAF Base Rafiqui near Shorkot. Multiple explosions were heard near Pakistan's Nur Khan Airbase in Rawalpindi and in locations across Lahore, Pakistani media channel Samaa TV reported overnight on Friday. Pakistan early Saturday claimed that its three airbases were targeted by Indian missiles and drones. Pakistan military spokesperson Lt Gen Ahmad Sharif Chaudhry told a hurriedly called press conference in Islamabad at around 4 am that Nur Khan (Chaklala, Rawalpindi), Murid (Chakwal) and Rafiqui (Shorkot in Jhang district) airbases of Pakistan Air Force were targeted. "But all assets of the Air Force remain safe," he claimed.
Meanwhile,Pakistan had attempted infiltration at 36 locations from Leh to Sircreek on  thursday night by using around 400 drones. Indian armed forces shot down many of these drones using kinetic and non-kinetic means. In a special briefing in New Delhi on Friday, Colonel Sofiya Qureshi of Indian Army said that Pakistani army violated Indian airspace several times over the entire western border with the intention of targeting military infrastructure.She said, not only this, they also fired heavy caliber weapons along the Line of Control.She added that the purpose of such large-scale aerial intrusions was to test air defence systems and collect intelligence. She added that Forensic investigation of the wreckage of the drones is being done and initial reports suggest that they are Turkish Asisguard Songar drones.
Wing Commander Vyomika Singh informed that in response to the Pakistani attack, Indian armed drones were launched at four air defence sites in Pakistan and one of the drones was able to destroy an AD radar. She said, Pakistan also carried out artillery shelling across the Line of Control using heavy-calibre artillery guns and armed drones which resulted in some losses and injuries to Indian army personnel. She added that Pakistan army also suffered major losses in Indian retaliatory fire. 
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri underlined that the denial of the attacks that Pakistan carried out is yet another example of their duplicity. He slammed Pakistani side for targeting and shelling places of worship, including Gurdwaras, convents, and temples, calling it a new low, even for Pakistan. He said that the strike on the headquarters of Jaish-e-Mohammed in Bahawalpur is a fitting response to the brutal killing of Wall Street Journal journalist Daniel Pearl who was killed brutally.
