Overview
- Pakistan’s military media wing issued a formal statement calling recent Indian military and political comments delusional, fabricated propaganda tied to elections in Bihar and West Bengal.
- The statement cautioned that jingoistic messaging risks regional stability and vowed Pakistan is prepared to defend its territory, promising a swift, resolute and intense response to any aggression.
- Pakistani outlets reported Indian officers’ claims that May’s hostilities killed more than 100 Pakistani soldiers and damaged Pakistani air assets, with references to ‘Operation Sindoor’.
- ISPR rejected those accounts, reiterating Pakistan’s version that it downed multiple Indian aircraft—first five, later seven—sustained no aircraft losses, and struck 26 targets in response.
- Coverage notes the May 10 US-mediated ceasefire remains in place and that the latest developments are public accusations and counterclaims rather than new fighting.
