ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has rejected as “fake and fabricated” a report published in The New York Times claiming that Pakistan Air Force aircraft were being used for operations against the Houthis.
According to the ministry, the claim regarding the use of Pakistani Air Force aircraft against the Houthis was baseless.
The Ministry of Information urged international media organizations to avoid speculative reporting regarding the possible deployment or use of Pakistan’s armed forces under the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement.
The ministry said that if any deployment or military operation becomes necessary, details would be provided by the relevant authorities through official channels.
Concluding its statement, the Ministry of Information said: “Truth prevails over falsehood.”
