The Pakistan Army has cordoned off the entire area of Balakot and are clearing away evidence such as dead bodies so that they can deny India's claims of the latest IAF strike wiping 300 militants in the area, a source has told India Today.
In the wake of the pre-dawn strike by the Indian Air Force on Jaish-e-Mohammed's biggest training camp in Balakot, across the Line of Control, Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan had convened a special meeting of the National Security Committee (NSC) to review the security situation and a response to India. The ruling party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has taken to Twitter to report the outcome of the meeting.
Meanwhile, China has appealed to India and Pakistan to "exercise restraint" and asked the Modi government to carry out its fight against terrorism through international cooperation. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang told the media in Beijing that the country has "taken note of relevant reports", PTI reported.
"I want to say that India and Pakistan are both important countries in South Asia. A sound relationship and cooperation between the two serves the interests of both the countries and peace and stability in South Asia," said the spokesman. "We hope that both India and Pakistan can exercise restraint and do more to improve mutual their bilateral relations."
