IAF repeated the same ‘mistake’ a day later, however, this time PAF shot down two aircraft and captured Wing Commander Abhi Nandan as well.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan offered India one more time to negotiate in an address to the Pakistani nation saying, it was nowhere in the interest of Pakistan for it to be used as a base for militancy.
