Islamabad: Apparently under pressure in view of growing international support to India in the aftermath of Uri attack, a rattled and jittery Pakistan is reportedly bracing for an offensive.
A senior Pakistani journalist and author on Thursday night tweeted about the presence of a group of fighter jets in the sky of Islamabad.
Several residents of the Pakistani capital city seconded Hamid Mir's tweet, saying that they heard F-16 fighter jets too.

India on Thursday claimed diplomatic victory over Pakistan at the United Nations amid deteriorating bilateral ties following the killing of 18 soldiers in a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir.
External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup told reporters here that India was "sensitising the world" about how Pakistan was sponsoring terrorism.
The spokesperson said most countries have condemned Sunday's terror attack at Uri near the Line of Control (LoC) -- the de facto border between India and Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir.
