India has shot down a Pakistani JF-17 fighter jet over the Kashmir region, specifically in the Pampore area, according to multiple reports from Indian media. This incident is part of a broader military operation by India named "Operation Sindoor," which involves targeted airstrikes and ground assaults on multiple terrorist camps and militant hideouts inside Pakistan-administered territories. Indian forces have destroyed nine terrorist bases and killed numerous militants during these operations. Satellite imagery has revealed extensive damage from the strikes, including the destruction of Pakistan's air defense systems. Indian military actions have also included countering missile attacks from Pakistan and engaging in continuous shelling in border areas such as Rajouri. The operation has caused explosions in at least nine Pakistani cities, including major urban centers like Lahore and Karachi, raising concerns over escalating tensions between the two countries. Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh confirmed the destruction of multiple terrorist camps and militants. The Pakistani military reportedly claimed to have shot down two Indian jets earlier, but Indian sources have highlighted their successful downing of a Pakistani F-16 jet using air defense systems as well. The ongoing conflict has led to widespread damage and heightened military activity along the India-Pakistan border.
