The hesitant admission came hours after India claimed to have downed several Pakistani jets, successfully thwarting Pakistan’s military escalation following Operation Sindoor.
The Pakistan Army admitted that one of its fighter jets suffered “minor damage” during the military clash with India, though no further details were provided about the aircraft.
The hesitant admission came hours after India claimed to have downed several Pakistani jets, successfully thwarting Pakistan’s military escalation following Operation Sindoor.
Addressing a press conference along with officials of the air force and navy, Pakistan Army spokesman Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said the purpose of the briefing was to apprise about the conduct and conclusion of “Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos”.
Chaudhry said that “only one aircraft” of Pakistan suffered “minor damage”, without providing details about the aircraft.
India and Pakistan reached a ceasefire agreement on Saturday to halt all military actions and firings on land, air, and sea, effective immediately.
However, just hours after the ceasefire was implemented, the Pakistan Army violated the agreement by engaging in cross-border firing.
The Indian Armed Forces retaliated effectively, said officials.
‘Few Pakistan Jets Downed’
Air Marshal AK Bharti, during a press briefing on Operation Sindoor on Saturday, said India has shot down several high-tech Pakistani jets.
“Their planes were prevented from entering inside our border. We have downed a few planes. Definitely, there are losses on their side which we have inflicted,” Air Marshal AK Bharti said while addressing the media on Operation Sindoor, India’s retaliatory strike on terror hotspots in Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack.
