“We have confirmed at least five fighters Kill and a large aircraft, either an elected aircraft or an AEW & C aircraft, which was taken about 300 kilometers away. It actually kills the biggest recorded surface, which we can talk about,” Air Chief Marshal App Singh said.

India launched Operation Sindor on 7 May on 7 April as a decisive military response to the Pahgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed. The Indian armed forces targeted terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, causing more than 100 militants associated with terrorist organizations such as Jai-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen.
After the attack, Pakistan attempted drone attacks with the Line of Control and Jammu and Kashmir as well as the border areas, after which India launched a coordinated attack and attempted drone attacks after damaging radar infrastructure, communication centers and air areas in 11 airbase.
According to the Ministry of External Affairs, 16 people have been killed due to Pakistani shelling, and 59 others have been injured. (AI)
