In a major escalation along the Line of Control (LoC), Indian air defence forces successfully intercepted and destroyed a Pakistani aerial strike formation. The operation led to the downing of one F-16 fighter jet, two JF-17 aircraft, and a high-value AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) platform. This action followed India’s “Operation Sindoor,” launched in retaliation to a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people. Pakistan denied initiating the aggression but claimed to have shot down five Indian jets and 25 drones. Tensions remain high, with ongoing artillery exchanges reported. (PC: Time Now)
