After the Indian attack, the Pakistani armed forces responded to the cowardly attack by shooting down 5 warplanes, including 3 Rafale aircraft of the Indian Air Force (IAF), and destroying several military check posts and several drones, including a brigade headquarters.

Later, the Indian army admitted defeat by hoisting the white flag at the Chura complex on the LoC.
