Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal (ACM) Sohail Aman also visited an operational base where he met all on-duty personnel and exchanged Eid greetings with them. ACM Aman also appreciated the high morale of all personnel and inspected the operational preparedness of forces.
“Pakistan’s sovereignty is our top priority,” a statement by the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) quoted the air chief as saying.
