Pakistan's army on Tuesday admitted that 11 military service personnel died in last week's conflict with India over the Pahalgam terror attack.

Seventy-eight personnel from the Pakistan army and the air force had been wounded during the four-day escalation, AFP reported, quoting a Pakistani army statement.


The victims from the Pakistan Air Force include squadron leader Usman Yousuf, chief technician Aurangzeb, senior technician Najeeb, corporal technician Farooq and senior technician Mubashir, it said.

Naik Abdul Rehman, lance naik Dilawar Khan, lance naik Ikramullah, naik Waqar Khalid, Sepoy Muhammad Adeel Akbar and sepoy Nisar were among the army personnel killed in the strikes, it added.

The Indian armed forces had said that their precision strikes at nine terrorist sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir killed over 100 terrorists. They also said that in their subsequent retaliation against Pakistan's aggression, around 30-40 Pakistani personnel were killed.


In response to India's action against terrorists, the Pakistani military launched a barrage of drones and other projectiles targeting Indian military installations and civilian areas. Indian forces thwarted the attacks, shooting down most of the projectiles.

As Pakistan continued its assault on civilians, India retaliated, targeting air bases deep into the country and destroying critical infrastructure, including air strips.

Later, Pakistan's DGMO called his Indian counterpart and urged a cessation of hostilities.

The Indian forces last week said they downed several Pakistani military jets. However, they didn't provide the number of aircraft. Yesterday, they confirmed that a Pakistani Mirage jet was shot down by Indian forces.

Five Indian military personnel died in the line of duty during the hostilities.
