Turkiye denies report of sending weapons to Pakistan

NEW DELHI: Claims that Turkiye sent six planes carrying weapons to Pakistan were refuted by the presidency's directorate of communications on Monday, according to the local Daily Sabah newspaper. "A cargo plane from Turkiye landed in Pakistan for refuelling. It then continued on its route. Speculative news made outside of statements of authorised persons and institutions should not be relied upon," the govt agency said, after reports appeared in social media saying Ankara was supplying weapons to Pakistan.
