Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Dar said on the 8th that India's statement about attacking Pakistan's military facilities "is a huge lie."
On the 8th, many places in Pakistan sounded air defense alarms. According to a special correspondent from the Global Times in Pakistan, at least one drone crashed and exploded near the Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi, which is only 8 kilometers away from the central administrative area of Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. According to the reporter's observation, on Pakistan's social media, there are also a large number of unauthorized users uploading videos, showing drone crashes and explosions in many places in Pakistan.
Chaudhry, director of the Pakistani Army News Bureau, said that Indian drones continue to invade Pakistan's airspace and the Pakistani army is on a "high alert state." Chaudhury previously said that a series of attacks by the Indian army on the 7th had killed 31 people and injured 57 people.

According to Reuters, the Indian Ministry of Defense said that from the night of the 7th to the 8th, Pakistan used drones and missiles to attack many military targets in northern and western India, all of which were thwarted by India's air defense system.
