The Pakistan government commemorated the day for their so-called resolve against "any aggression".

It tagged the post with #SurpriseDay.

ISPR branded the day as "Operation Swift Retort" saying that a "plane was shot down during a dogfight between Pakistani and Indian Air Forces in February last year". The jingoism was quite visible.
There were also celebrations held at Pakistan Air Force headquarters in Islamabad. An extravagant air show was also conducted to showcase the"valour" of Pak Air Force.
