“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?
