In major retaliation, the Pakistan armed forces shot down five Indian Air Force (IAF) jets, a combat drone, and destroyed brigade headquarters after India carried out missile strikes in cities of Punjab and Azad Kashmir.
In his press conference on Wednesday, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director-General Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry confirmed that all Pakistan Air Force jets are safe after engaging Indian jets.
The DG ISPR also added that among the destroyed Indian Air Force (IAF) jets are three French-made Rafales, one Su30MKI and one MIG-29 Fulcrum.

The Pakistan armed forces also destroyed multiple enemy posts in several sectors along the Line of Control (LoC). An intense exchange of fire is ongoing at the LoC with the Pakistan Army engaging Indian army positions.
India’s attacks on Pakistani soil have resulted in the martyrdom of 26 innocent civilians, while 46 others have sustained injuries, according to the military’s spokesperson.
The military escalation along the Line of Control comes after India launched strikes on multiple locations in Pakistan in the wee hours of Wednesday.
India says it took the measures in response to the killing of more than two dozen tourists in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, for which India blames Pakistan, a claim that Islamabad has vehemently denied.
