Indian aggression along LoC has once again claimed innocent lives. A woman and another civilian were martyred in the Shahkot sector after heavy Indian shelling. The attack took place near the Line of Control and destroyed dozens of homes in the area.
In response to this provocation, the Pakistan Air Force launched a strong counter-strike. During Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos, PAF jets targeted multiple Indian positions. According to security sources, the operation caused serious losses to the Indian Air Force.
At least five Indian Air Force fighter jets were shot down. One crashed in Anantnag. The pilot is feared dead. The aircraft’s ejection seat was found in Gadool, Kokernag.
Another jet fell near Pampore or Pulwama. Both pilots were seriously hurt and taken to a hospital in Srinagar.
A third crash occurred in Ramsu, Ramban district. Flying Officer Iqbal Singh, the pilot, was injured and moved to the Army Hospital in Udhampur.
In another incident, an Indian fighter jet crashed in the fields of Bharda Kalan, Akhnoor Tehsil. Both crew members were injured and shifted to the military hospital in Akhnoor.
Security forces confirmed another IAF aircraft was destroyed in the Bathinda region.
In addition to the manned aircraft losses, Pakistan’s air defense also shot down a Heron drone. This Indian surveillance vehicle was brought down about 13 nautical miles east of Jammu.
This wave of Indian aggression along LoC has led to a dangerous escalation. However, Pakistan’s swift and precise response has shown its military preparedness.
Despite these developments, India has yet to issue an official statement about the losses or explain the motive behind its aggression.
The situation remains tense. The international community is watching closely as the region faces the consequences of repeated Indian aggression along LoC.
