Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif announced that the country's military has shot down five Indian fighter jets in response to Indian airstrikes. The minister also claimed that some Indian soldiers were taken prisoner, though these claims have not been independently verified.
The Indian airstrikes, part of 'Operation Sindoor,' targeted multiple locations within Pakistan, escalating tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. The strikes were launched in retaliation to an attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir on April 22, which resulted in 26 deaths and which India alleges was supported by Pakistan. The Pakistani military reported that eight civilians were killed, 35 were injured, and two are missing due to the Indian strikes.
