Pakistan leaders mark Independence Day with calls for unity, hail ‘victory’ in May conflict with India 

KARACHI: Pakistan’s civilian and military leaders marked the country’s 78th Independence Day on Thursday by hailing what they described as a decisive victory against India in a brief military conflict earlier this year, using the anniversary to call for unity at home and reiterate support for disputed Kashmir. The South Asian nation, which has fought three major wars with India since partition in 1947, said it had downed six Indian jets in fighting through missiles, drones and artillery that raged between May 6 and 10 before ending through US mediation.
