Pakistan Confirms Downing of 5 Indian Fighter Jets

Islamabad – Pakistan’s Defense Minister has confirmed that five Indian fighter jets were shot down during recent cross-border military engagements.

In an interview with ARY News, the minister stated that Pakistan achieved air combat success but did not share details on the aircraft types or the exact timeline of the incidents.

This statement comes after ARY News initially reported that three Indian jets were downed, naming Rafales, a MiG-29, and a Su-30. However, the minister corrected the report, confirming the total was five, not three.

He did not confirm or deny the aircraft models mentioned in the original report.

The situation remains tense as both countries monitor each other’s movements closely. More official statements are expected in the coming days.
