Helicopter was within our boundary, says PM Azad Kashmir

Kashmir

ISLAMABAD: In a reaction to attempted attack by Indian forces on his helicopter, Prime Minister Azad Jammu and Kashmir Raja Farooq Haider on Sunday said they were within the boundary, while India staged this drama.

“It is clearly evident that India is perturbed. I along with the ministers in the helicopter were within our limit,” he said while exclusively talking to ARY News.

Indian troops fired shots at helicopter of the PM from a border post, while he was travelling on a white civilian helicopter to Tarori near LoC to condole the death of brother of Chaudhry Abdul Aziz.

The helicopter landed safely on the ground without any damage.

The incident reflects the state of affairs of panic-stricken Indian army and media who termed it a Pakistan Army helicopter.

Farooq Haider said Kashmiri would become a front line against India (if war was waged), however they did not want war obsession in the region. He said it was a private helicopter and not a gunship copter.

The PM Azad Kashmir said a civilian aircraft could travel up to Zero Line, while if a military chopper has to travel up to that point, then you need to inform beforehand.

“We passed from near the Line of Control (LoC), while the Indian forces feigned as if we crossed the line which was only a drama staged by them,” he said.

Raja Farooq said India on regular basis opens fire in the area, where their helicopter was flying, which resultantly has martyred dozens of people.

Young girl’s tragic story makes her symbol of Yemen war

Buthaina Mansur al-Rimi’s life has changed drastically since last year — orphaned in Sanaa, the little girl controversially ended up in Saudi Arabia for medical care and has just returned to Yemen’s capital. Her entire immediate family was wiped out in an air strike by a Saudi-led coalition that backs Yemen’s government, using an explosive device Amnesty International says was made in the US. Images of Buthaina’s rescue and a picture of her swollen and bruised at a hospital trying to force open one of her eyes with her fingers were beamed worldwide. That international fame saw her become something of a propaganda pawn in the war between Yemen’s Iran-backed Huthi rebels and Saudi media. “I was in my mother’s room with my father, sisters, brother and uncle, the first missile hit, and my father went to get us sugar to get over the shock, but then the second missile hit, and then the third,” she says. “And then the house fell,” adds the little girl, who says she is eight.
