The True Post (Web News)In a major development amid escalating tensions between Pakistan and India, U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed that five Indian fighter jets were destroyed during recent military engagements.
Speaking at a press briefing, President Trump acknowledged reports that the Indian Air Force suffered significant losses in an aerial conflict with Pakistan. He stated, “We have received credible information that five Indian jets were taken down in the fighting. This is a serious situation, and we are closely monitoring it.”
The statement lends international credibility to Pakistan’s earlier claims that its air defense systems and fighter pilots successfully countered Indian aggression along the Line of Control (LoC).
Pakistan’s military had previously released footage and radar evidence suggesting multiple successful strikes against incoming Indian aircraft. Meanwhile, India has remained largely silent on the reported losses, fueling speculation and media scrutiny.
International observers fear that the situation may spiral out of control if de-escalation efforts fail. The United Nations and global powers have urged both nuclear-armed neighbors to exercise restraint and return to diplomatic dialogue.
