Web Desk<\/strong>: In a strong and swift response to India’s unprovoked missile strikes on Pakistani territory, the Pakistan Armed Forces have shot down five Indian Air Force (IAF) fighter jets<\/strong>, including three Rafales, one Su-30MKI, and one MiG-29<\/strong>, and a combat drone<\/strong>, while also destroying key Indian military infrastructure<\/strong> along the Line of Control (LoC), including a brigade headquarters and multiple checkposts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Indian strikes, carried out in the early hours of Wednesday, targeted six locations in Punjab<\/strong> and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK)<\/strong>, resulting in the deaths of 26 civilians, <\/strong>including women and children, and injuring at least 46 others<\/strong>, according to Pakistan\u2019s military spokesperson Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pakistan’s Decisive Counterstrike<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at a press conference, ISPR Director-General Lt Gen Chaudhry confirmed that all Pakistan Air Force (PAF) jets returned safely<\/strong> after successfully intercepting Indian aircraft. He added that Pakistani forces continue to retaliate forcefully along the LoC, inflicting heavy casualties and damage<\/strong> on Indian military positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security sources also reported the destruction of multiple Indian army posts, with Indian troops abandoning nearly 90 border outposts<\/strong> amid sustained artillery fire from Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Civilian Casualties from Indian Missile Strikes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Indian strikes hit several civilian areas, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Ahmedpur East (Masjid Subhanullah):<\/strong> 13 martyred, including two toddlers and seven women; 37 injured<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Muzaffarabad (Masjid Bilal):<\/strong> 3 killed; a girl and a boy injured<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Kotli (Masjid Abbas):<\/strong> Two teenagers martyred; mother and child injured<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Muridke (Masjid Ummul Qura):<\/strong> 3 men martyred<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Sialkot and Shakargarh:<\/strong> Minimal structural damage reported<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The Noseri Dam<\/strong>, part of the Neelum-Jhelum Hydropower Project, also suffered damage during the Indian onslaught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    International Reactions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • U.S. President Donald Trump<\/strong> described the escalation as \u201ca shame,\u201d urging both sides to restrain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • China<\/strong> expressed regret over India’s unilateral action and urged de-escalation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres<\/strong> expressed \u201cdeep concern\u201d and called for maximum restraint by both nuclear-armed nations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Pakistani Leadership Responds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif<\/strong> called India’s actions a \u201ccowardly attack\u201d and vowed a decisive response<\/strong>, stating, “Pakistan reserves the absolute right to defend its sovereignty.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Defense Minister Khawaja Asif<\/strong> confirmed the downing of the Indian jets and emphasized that Pakistan\u2019s retaliatory action had turned the tide<\/strong> in its favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar<\/strong> condemned the attacks as a blatant violation of international law<\/strong>, asserting that the Indian Air Force targeted civilians using standoff weapons while remaining inside Indian airspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Pakistan\u2019s Communication with the UN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Pakistan has formally apprised the United Nations Security Council (UNSC)<\/strong> of the evolving security situation and termed India\u2019s actions as an \u201cunprovoked act of war.\u201d Islamabad reiterated its right to respond under Article 51 of the UN Charter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Airspace Temporarily Closed, Now Reopened<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Pakistan temporarily closed the airspace over Lahore and Karachi<\/strong> due to heightened military operations, but it was reopened after 8 hours. Authorities advised passengers to check with airlines for updated flight schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Background: Rising India-Pakistan Tensions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Tensions have soared since the April 22 attack in Pahalgam<\/strong>, where over two dozen Indian tourists were killed. India immediately blamed Pakistan, despite failing to provide any evidence<\/strong>. In retaliation, India suspended several diplomatic and bilateral agreements, including the Indus Waters Treaty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Islamabad denied involvement and offered to participate in a transparent international investigation<\/strong>, warning earlier that credible intelligence<\/strong> indicated imminent Indian military action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Stay tuned for further updates as the situation unfolds.<\/strong>
