Pakistan hasn\u2019t said how many aircraft were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/asia-pacific\/2022\/01\/03\/pakistan-confirms-chinese-firebird-fighter-acquisition\/\" target=\"_blank\">bought in the deal<\/a>, though authorities had earlier spoken of up to 25 jets. China is a longtime ally of Pakistan and has sold it military aircraft before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without naming neighboring India, Khan said in his Friday speech that the Chinese-built planes would play an important role in rectifying a \u201csecurity imbalance\u201d in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ceremony comes a day after Pakistan said an unarmed surface-to-surface missile launched from India landed inside the country, damaging a wall in a residential area but causing no casualties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the incident, Pakistan on Friday summoned an Indian diplomat and lodged a protest, according to a statement released by the Pakistani Foreign Affairs Ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later Friday, India\u2019s Defence Ministry issued a statement saying that the missile that ended up in Pakistan was fired by accident due to a technical malfunction during a \u201croutine maintenance\u201d on Wednesday. It said the government ordered an investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhile the incident is deeply regrettable, it is also a matter of relief that there has been no loss of life due to the accident,\u201d India said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pakistan and India have a history of bitter relations. They have fought three wars \u2014 two of them over the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir, which is divided between the two but claimed by both in its entirety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan hasn\u2019t said how many aircraft were bought in the deal, though authorities had earlier spoken of up to 25
