On May 7, 2025, Pakistan’s military claimed it shot down five Indian fighter jets during a retaliatory aerial engagement after India launched airstrikes on targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The strikes followed a deadly attack in Pahalgam, which India attributed to Pakistan-based militants. Pakistan stated its jets acted within its own airspace and denied any violations. India has neither confirmed the loss of aircraft nor provided details, while satellite imagery and independent verification remain inconclusive. A U.S.-brokered ceasefire was reached on May 10, but both countries continue to issue contradictory statements about the incident. (PC: AP Photo)
