Pakistan’s security sources have claimed that a fighter jet belonging to the Indian Air Force was shot down near Ahmedpur East in Bahawalpur amid rapidly intensifying hostilities between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
In a swift and decisive response to India’s missile attack, Pakistan’s military has shot down two Indian aircraft, Pakistan security sources confirmed.
Pakistan’s armed forces are giving a befitting response to India’s misadventure.
According to sources, all Pakistani aircraft are safe, and the country’s airspace is secure.
India has launched a cowardly missile attack on Pakistani territory, firing missiles from its airspace, Director General (DG) Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry confirmed on Wednesday.
The reported shoot-down comes as part of ongoing military engagements following cross-border strikes that began earlier this week. Official confirmation and further details from Pakistan’s military spokesperson are awaited.
This marks a significant escalation in the conflict, with both countries being nuclear powers — raising alarm over regional stability.
Sources say Kotli, Muzaffarabad, Ahmedpur Sharqia Bagh and Muridke were hit by missiles. The DG ISPR said that the cowardly act will not go unpunished.
Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said that the Pakistani Air Force was quick to respond, activating its defense systems and preventing any Indian aircraft from penetrating Pakistani airspace.
“Pakistan will respond at a time and place of its choosing” he said.
