In a renewed assertion, Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi claimed that Islamabad shot down six Indian jets during a skirmish in May, a claim that has been dismissed by India's Chief of Defence Staff, Gen Anil Chauhan, as 'absolutely incorrect.'
While Naqvi maintains Islamabad possesses video evidence, India remains firm in its rejection, refusing to acknowledge the losses of its aircraft during the conflict without concrete evidence from Pakistan.
Amidst ongoing tensions, India's Chief of Air Staff AP Singh reported that Indian forces downed several Pakistani jets but provided no specific numbers. The situation remains volatile as both nations call for verification and transparency in military claims.
