Pakistan’s military spokesman said on Friday it would not “de-escalate” with India, after days of missile, artillery and drone attacks.

“We will not de-escalate -- with the damages India did on our side, they should take a hit,” Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry told media at a briefing.

“So far we have been protecting ourselves but they will get an answer in our own timing.”
