Pakistan Claims To Have Shot Down Two Indian Jets After Reports Say Its Fighters Were Chased Off By IAF
Fighters of the Pakistan Air Force
Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the propaganda wing of the Pakistani armed forces, has claimed that the country has shot down two fighter jets of the Indian Air Force (IAF) which it says had crossed the Line of Control (LoC) following air strikes in Jammu and Kashmir by the Pakistan Air Force earlier today.
Major General Asif Ghafoor of the Pakistan Army confirmed this on Twitter.
The confirmation came moments after Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry released a statement claiming that the fighters of the Pakistan Air Force dropped bombs at multiple locations from its side of the LoC.
“Today, Pakistan Air Force undertook strikes across Line of Control from within Pakistani airspace,” the statement issued by Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry read, adding that Islamabad has no intention to escalate the tensions further.
“We do not wish to go to that route and wish that India gives peace a chance and to resolve issues like a mature democratic nation,” it added.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
