“NO EVIDENCE, JUST POSTS” : PAK Defence Minister MOCKED After No Proof On Jet Kill CNN Interview

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. #Pakistan #India #AirStrikes #Rafale #KhawajaAsif #CNNInterview #JetDownClaim #FakeNews #PahalgamAttack #OperationSindoor #IndianAirForce #PakistanAirForce #DefenseNews #IndiaVsPakistan #SocialMediaIntel #MilitaryIntel #WarFooting #PoKStrikes #JetDebrisHoax #MIG21Crash #FactCheck #PIBFactCheck #PakistanPropaganda #TerrorBaseStrikes #SouthAsiaConflict #BilateralTensions #PakMinisterSlip #BreakingNews #IndiaStrikesBack #AsifCNN Also Read Proof From Above: Satellite Pics Show Extent of Terror Site Damage in Operation Sindoor - Before & After Pics :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/proof-from-above-satellite-pics-show-extent-of-terror-site-damage-in-operation-sindoor-see-before-4147141.html?ref=DMDesc 'Pakistan Shot Down 5 Indian Jets' Claims Defence Minister Asif In CNN Interview, Becomes Butt Of A Joke :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-shot-down-5-indian-jets-claims-defence-minister-asif-on-cnn-interview-becomes-butt-of-a-4146991.html?ref=DMDesc Post-Strike Panic or Calculated Crime?

India Calls Out China for Spreading Lies On Operation Sindoor; Jaishankar Aide Destroys Xi's Media

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 The Indian Embassy in Beijing called out the media outlet for using outdated images of IAF crashes to mislead the public, claiming they were from the May 7 strikes.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. #GlobalTimes #China #IndiaChina #IndiaChinaNews #IndiaChinaStandoff #ChineseMediaOnIndia #GlobalTimesOnIndia #IndiaChinaConflict #IndianArmy #IndiaVsChina #IndiaNews #IndiaChinaWar #OperationSindoor #OperationSindoorIndia #IndiaPakistanTensions Also Read PL-15 vs Meteor: Does China’s Missile Really Give Pakistan An Edge Over India’s Rafales?

Indian Navy Deploys Full Force in Arabian Sea–Ready to Strike Karachi if Ceasefire Broken|Op Sindoor

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. #OperationSindoor #IndianNavy #KarachiTargeted #PahalgamAttack #ViceAdmiralPramod #IndiaStrikesBack #NavalDeployment #CeasefireThreat #ArabianSea #PakNavy #FullCombatReadiness #WarshipsDeployed #PakistanTensions #IndiaDefense #IndianForces Also Read Pakistan Army Violates Ceasefire for 6th Consecutive Day, Indian Army Strikes Back :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistan-army-violates-ceasefire-for-6th-consecutive-day-indian-army-strikes-back-4139021.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistani Troops Violate Ceasefire In J-K, Suffer Heavy Casualties After Indian Army Retaliates :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistani-troops-heavy-casualties-ceasefire-violation-loc-poonch-011-4069697.html?ref=DMDesc Sharp Decline in Cross-Border Firing Incidents: Jitendra Singh Warns Against Lowering Guard :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/sharp-decline-in-cross-border-firing-incidents-jitendra-singh-gen-3669597.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.102~
