Pakistan’s military and state-run media said the Pakistan Air Force shot down two Indian fighter jets near the countries’ shared border on Tuesday evening. Geo News, PTV and Anadolu Agency, all citing security officials, reported that the aircraft were downed after they allegedly violated Pakistani airspace. Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, the Pakistani military’s chief spokesperson, told CNN the interceptions came in response to Indian missile strikes on targets in Bahawalpur and Azad Kashmir, which he described as “a blatant act of war.” He added that all Pakistani aircraft returned safely to base. The type of Indian jets involved was not definitively stated, though several outlets referred to Rafale fighters. The claims have not been independently verified, and New Delhi has not issued an immediate response. Open-source aviation monitors also reported no corroborating evidence of downed aircraft. Tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors have periodically flared along the Line of Control, and the latest allegations, if confirmed, would mark a significant escalation.
