‘PAF may not always exercise restraint when responding to aggression’

Chief of Air Staff Chief Air Marshal Mujahid Anwar Khan has warned that Pakistan may not always exercise restraint when responding to acts of aggression.

Speaking at an event to mark the one-year anniversary of ‘Operation Swift Retort’ on Thursday, he said the air force is a fully integrated force.

The Pakistan Air Force is one of the most well-respected and responsible air forces of a peace loving country, he said.

He also reiterated the message of February 27, 2019 and said “no misadventure would go unresponded”.

“To respond to that aggression was our compulsion,” he said, calling the response measured. But we may not always exercise restraint, he warned.

He said the air force supports the people of Kashmir and their right to self determination.

It’s time human rights violations and the longest curfew ever in Kashmir must come to an end, he said.

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.
