Ankara: The Turkish presidency's directorate of communications denied on Monday media reports of Ankara allegedly sending aircraft carrying weapons to Pakistan. "The claim reported by certain media outlets that 'Turkiye sent six aircraft full of weapons to Pakistan' is not true. A single transport aircraft departing from Turkiye landed in Pakistan for refuelling purposes before continuing its journey along the designated route," the directorate said on X.

According to Namibia Press Agency, the center called against giving credence to "speculative news reports" that are not attributed to the statements of officials and institutions.

On April 22, a terrorist attack took place near the town of Pahalgam in India's Jammu and Kashmir, killing 26 people, including one Nepalese citizen. A group of terrorists from the Resistance Front, affiliated with the Lashkar-e-Taiba group (banned in Russia), claimed responsibility for the attack. Following the attack, the Indian Cabinet Committee on Security decided to reduce the staff of the embassies of India and Pakistan in each other's countries, suspend the Indus Waters Treaty, and close the only functioning land border crossing between the two countries.

In response to the restrictions imposed by Indian authorities, Pakistan's National Security Committee said the country would regard any attempt by India to divert the flow of the Indus River as an act of war, announced an immediate suspension of "all trade with India, including to and from any third country through Pakistan," and closed its airspace to all Indian flights.
