Reuters, New Delhi :
The Indian government was “happy” that Pakistan had decided to return one of its captured air force pilots and it looked forward to his return, defence officials told reporters on Thursday.
Wing Commander Abhinandan, who was captured by Pakistan’s army on Wednesday, will return to India on Friday, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan told the country’s parliament. Asked about the damage caused when India warplanes struck a suspected militant camp in Pakistan, the officials said it was premature to provide details about casualties. But they said they had “credible” evidence of the damage inflicted on the camp by the air strikes.
