Tensions spike in the South China Sea as the Philippine Navy accuses China of unsafe and aggressive maneuvers near the disputed Scarborough Shoal. Chinese warships reportedly tracked and challenged a Philippine frigate, escalating the already volatile standoff. Manila condemned the actions as dangerous provocations threatening regional peace, while Beijing fired back, labeling the Philippines an intruder. With both sides exchanging sharp words and military assets on alert, the Scarborough Shoal has become the latest flashpoint in a high-stakes maritime showdown with global implications.

Pakistan’s defense minister Khawaja Asif stunned viewers during a CNN interview by admitting that Islamabad’s claim of shooting down five Indian jets—including Rafales—was based entirely on Indian social media posts. He provided no military confirmation, stating, “the debris is on their side.” India had earlier launched a retaliatory airstrike on terror camps across Pakistan and PoK. Fact-checkers exposed Pakistan’s viral jet debris photos as old and unrelated. Asif warned of potential full-scale war, while indirectly acknowledging Indian strike casualties.

In a bold move, India has fiercely criticized China’s state-run media, Global Times, for spreading disinformation regarding the Indian Air Force’s Operation Sindoor. The Indian Embassy in Beijing called out the media outlet for using outdated images of IAF crashes to mislead the public, claiming they were from the May 7 strikes. India’s fact-checking agencies promptly debunked these visuals as doctored propaganda.

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has sparked global mockery after claiming on social media that Pakistani forces “downed Indian Rafale jets” in response to India’s Operation Sindoor. The bold claim, made without any evidence, comes just hours after India’s precision strikes demolished nine terror camps across Pakistan in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack.

Following the brutal terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam on April 22, the Indian Navy launched a powerful response under Operation Sindoor. Vice Admiral AN Pramod confirmed that India’s Carrier Battle Group, submarines, and air assets were deployed in full combat readiness within 96 hours. Positioned decisively in the northern Arabian Sea, Indian forces remain on high alert, capable of striking sea and land targets — including Karachi — if ceasefire violations continue. Pakistan’s naval and air units have been forced into a defensive posture, retreating to harbours under constant Indian surveillance. India’s response remains proportionate yet firm, signaling unmistakable deterrence.
