Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has praised the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) on Pakistan Air Force Day, observed each year on September 7 to mark the service's role in the 1965 war with India. In his address, Sharif highlighted the PAF's performance during what he called "Marka-i-Haq" (Operation Truth), a military engagement in May 2025 in which he said the PAF defeated an unnamed adversary in coordination with the country's other armed services. The prime minister credited the outcome to strong leadership, tactical skill, and a modernisation drive that has expanded Pakistan's multi-domain warfare capabilities.
