In a significant escalation of tensions, India has launched airstrikes against multiple sites in Pakistan, citing a recent terrorist attack in Kashmir as justification. Pakistan, in response, claims to have shot down five Indian aircraft, while also reporting casualties from the strikes. Both countries are reporting downed jets, with Pakistan stating that it has successfully intercepted Indian fighter planes, including Rafale, SU-30, and MiG-29 models. This series of events has sparked fears of a potential military conflict, reminiscent of past wars between the two nations. Reports indicate that several Indian jets have crashed, with conflicting accounts on the circumstances, and both sides are preparing for possible further retaliation. The situation remains tense as military communications intensify and the international community calls for restraint.
