Reports say Pakistan Air Force dropped eight bombs on Matre Dara village in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, killing at least 30 civilians, including women and children, amid counter-terrorism operations.

At least 30 civilians killed in Pakistan Air Force strikes in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Reports say Pakistan Air Force dropped eight bombs on Matre Dara village in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, killing at least 30 civilians, including women and children, amid counter-terrorism operations.

At least 30 people, including women and children, were killed on Monday when the Pakistan Air Force reportedly dropped eight bombs on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Reports stated that LS-6 bombs were released from JF-17 fighter jets over the Pashtun-majority Matre Dara village at around 2 am, resulting in widespread destruction of the village.
Several people were reportedly injured in the blasts, though official confirmation of casualties is still awaited. Local media noted that the airstrikes were aimed at Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) hideouts, and all the victims killed were civilians.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has recently witnessed multiple military actions targeting terrorists hiding in the mountainous province along the Afghan border. On Sunday, the Pakistani army reported that seven TTP members were killed during an intelligence-led operation in the Dera Ismail Khan district. According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), three of the deceased were Afghan nationals, and two were suicide bombers.
Earlier, on September 13-14, at least 31 TTP militants were killed in two separate engagements across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The province has seen a rise in terrorist activities, particularly in areas bordering Afghanistan. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had emphasized last week that Afghanistan must decide whether to side with terrorists or stand with Pakistan.
Disturbing images and videos from the site of Monday&rsquo;s airstrike show bodies, including those of children, scattered across the village. Rescue teams are engaged in recovering victims from the rubble, raising concerns that the death toll may rise further.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has a history of counter-terrorism operations that have often resulted in civilian casualties. Earlier this year in June, Amnesty International highlighted the repeated drone strikes in the region as a severe disregard for civilian life.
"Pakistani authorities have failed to take action to protect the lives and property of civilians in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa who continue to pay the price of an escalating number of drone strikes in the province. Last Friday's drone strike, killing one child, is part of an alarming series of attacks which have escalated since March of this year," Isabelle Lassee, Deputy Regional Director for South Asia at Amnesty International, said.

Pakistan on Friday rejected Afghanistan Vice President Amrullah Saleh's remarks that the Pakistan Air Force was providing air support to the Taliban militants in the border areas.
Such statements undermine Pakistan's sincere efforts to play its part in an Afghan-owned and Afghan-led solution, the Pakistan Foreign Office said in a statement.
On Thursday, Afghanistan Vice President Saleh tweeted: "Pakistan air force has issued (an) official warning to the Afghan Army and Air Force that any move to dislodge the Taliban from Spin Boldak area will be faced and repelled by the Pakistan Air Force. Pak air force is now providing close air support to Taliban in certain areas."
Fierce fighting has been going on for the last few days between the Afghan forces and the Taliban in Spin Boldak town of Kandahar.
The Taliban militants have seized dozens of districts in recent weeks and are now thought to control over a third of the country, ahead of the complete withdrawal of US and Western troops from Afghanistan by September 11.
Pakistan on Friday said it had accepted a request by the Afghanistan government to carry out air operations close to the border adjacent to its Chaman sector, despite risks and international practice to not allow such operations close to the border.

88th Indian Air Force Day: Acts Of Bravery

1971 WAR In December 1971, Pakistan launched airstrikes on India amidst independence movement and West Pakistan&rsquo;s genocide in Bangladesh (then East Pak) - war declared afterwards. IAF played key role in assisting army on both Western and Eastern fronts of war. Destroyed more than 20 tanks on the Western end alone.
Reportedly destroyed 94 Pakistan Air Force (PAF) aircrafts in the war which ended in 13 days (3 to 16 December). Also aided through raids on industries. Raid on Attock Oil Refinery most notable as it caused &ldquo;extensive damage&rdquo; to Pakistan&rsquo;s oil supply.
KARGIL WAR IAF launched Operation &lsquo;Safed Sagar&rsquo; during the 1999 Kargil war - played key role in delivering victory for India. The IAF aided in demolishing Pakistani ground structures at high altitudes in Kargil. Flew 10-11 strike missions per day.
Demolished several defence complexes in Batalik sub-sector - one of the most important strategic locations in the war Notably destroyed Pakistani camps around. Tiger Hill located at 5,307 m altitude - allowed Army to capture the strategically vital point.
BALAKOT AIRSTRIKES Most recent example is the Balakot airstrikes of 2019. Done after 40 CRPF personnel were killed in suicide bombing in Pulwama - Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) took responsibility. 26 February, 2019: IAF launched airstrikes at JeM camp in Balakot (Pakistan).
12 Mirage-2000 fighter jets were used to drop bombs weighing 1,000 kg - caused &ldquo;complete destruction&rdquo; of terrorist camps. Pakistan Air Force jets reportedly tried to chase after the IAF jets on their way back, but could not touch the Indian planes.
 BIJU PATNAIK AND THE TOP SECRET INDONESIAN MISSION Former Odisha CM Biju Patnaik, father of current Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik, was an IAF pilot - later founded the Kalinga airlines which merged into Indian Airlines in 1953. Indonesia gained independence in 1945 from Netherlands. However, Netherlands invaded again in 1947. On PM Nehru&rsquo;s request, Biju and his wife Gyana Devi flew one of their planes to Indonesia in July 1947 amidst Dutch threat of attacking the planes. Ferried back Indonesian PM Sutan Sjahrir and Vice President Mohammad Hatta to India. Sjahrir and Hatta were key in drawing World pressure on the Dutch who eventually withdrew from Indonesia.
DID YOU KNOW?
Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, an IAF fighter pilot was conferred the Vir Chakra Gallantry award in August 2019. During the 2019 India&ndash;Pakistan standoff, he was held captive in Pakistan for 60 hours, after his aircraft was shot down in an aerial dogfight, and later released.
