No evidence of Pakistani jet loss, says information ministry
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on Saturday dismissed as “false” reports circulated by Afghan Taliban officials and amplified by Indian media claiming that Afghan forces had shot down a Pakistani fighter jet in Nangarhar and captured its pilot.
Videos were seen circulating on social media platforms, including X.
Pakistani security forces have launched “Operation Ghazab Lil Haq,” carrying out coordinated air and ground strikes against Afghan Taliban positions in Kabul, Kandahar, Paktia and Nangarhar, as well as several other locations, following what officials described as unprovoked cross-border aggression.
The development comes as the military said Pakistan has “effectively repulsed” Afghan Taliban insurgents at 53 locations along the border, inflicting heavy losses while exercising restraint to avoid civilian harm.
The information ministry said it exposed the false Afghan and Indian media propaganda about the alleged capture of a Pakistani pilot.
