Fighter Jets Shot Down: The Hindu's Report on 'Missing' and What Else is Known

What Pakistan Has Said

India's Silence

Statements from International Media

Statement from BBC Verify

Islamabad claims that at least five Indian fighter jets have been shot down as a result of India's military operation named 'Operation Sindoor' carried out after midnight in Pakistani-administered Kashmir. However, no photos or videos of the incident have emerged, and India has neither confirmed nor denied the occurrence. As a result, there is considerable ambiguity surrounding this statement. Even if jets have been shot down, it is still not entirely clear how many aircraft faced that fate and where it took place.
