VISTORBELITUNG.COM,ISLAMABAD – In a dramatic escalation of tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors, Pakistan claimed to have shot down multiple Indian fighter jets late last night, including advanced Rafale aircraft, a MiG-29, and an Su-30. The incident marks one of the most serious military confrontations between India and Pakistan in recent years.
Pakistan Military Confirms Aerial Engagements
According to a statement from the Pakistan Air Force (PAF), their jets successfully intercepted and engaged Indian aircraft that allegedly violated Pakistani airspace. The PAF reported shooting down,Three Dassault Rafale jet's (France-made, considered among India’s most advanced fighters) One Mikoyan MiG-29 (Russian-origin, multirole fighter) One Sukhoi Su-30MKI (Russian heavy fighter, backbone of the Indian Air Force)
Pakistani military spokesperson Major General Asif Ghafoor stated, *"Our forces acted in self-defense after detecting unauthorized incursions. We have evidence of the downed aircraft, and we urge India to avoid further provocations."*
India Denies Losses, Calls Claims "Baseless"
The Indian Ministry of Defence swiftly rejected Pakistan’s claims, calling them "completely false and fabricated." An official statement insisted that "no Indian aircraft were lost in any engagement," and accused Pakistan of spreading misinformation.
However, unverified videos circulating on social media appear to show wreckage of fighter jets in an undisclosed location near the Kashmir border. Aviation analysts are examining the footage to determine the authenticity and origin of the debris.
Global Concern Over Escalation
The United Nations and several world leaders have called for restraint, fearing a broader conflict. The U.S. State Department issued a statement urging *"both sides to de-escalate immediately and return to dialogue."
This incident follows weeks of heightened tensions, including recent skirmishes along the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir. The region remains one of the most militarized zones in the world, with both nations having fought multiple wars since 1947.
Military experts warn that the downing of advanced jets—especially the Rafale, which India recently acquired in a multi-billion-dollar deal with France—could trigger a severe response. Both nations have placed their forces on high alert.
