It is the biggest-ever disaster in the history of Pakistan, |
It seems the explosion occurred when these people were busy making an improvised explosive device for terrorist activity, |
Let me say on record that this is totally fabricated, |
None of our bunkers on the [Line of Control] were destroyed by the earthquake so there is no possibility that Indian troops have helped Pakistani troops. This is pure fabrication, |
Now we find out that the casualties might have exceeded 100. |
Our fighting bunkers are completely intact because their construction is very robust, |
Our investigation revealed that it was blasting on the roadside by engineers, under way exactly at that time when the helicopters was flying over the area, |
Our men returned fire after being attacked by the miscreants, and according to our information between 15 to 20 terrorists have been killed in the retaliatory fire. |
Our soldiers pulled out the girl, |
Some foreigners were amongst those killed, but we have no information on their origin, |
The blast was huge enough to kick up dust which the pilot probably misunderstood as rocket fire, |
The border is porous. Militants keep on coming and going. That's our main problem. |
The death toll from the earthquake is now 38,000 and 62,000 people are injured. |
The official death toll is 25,000 plus and the number of injured is more than 63,000, |
The step has been taken to enhance security measures on the border before the Afghan elections, |
