Pakistan tells CNN it has shot down 2 Indian Air Force aircraft

From CNN’s Jerome Taylor

Pakistan’s military claims it has shot down two Indian Air Force aircraft.

“There are two confirmed aircraft of the Indian Air Force have already been shot down,” Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, spokesperson for the Pakistani military, told CNN’s Jim Sciutto. “There are other reports of multiple damages that the Pakistani forces, both on ground and air, have inflicted. But I can confirm you at least two aircraft of Indian Air Force that have been downed,” he added.

CNN cannot independently confirm Chaudhry’s claims that Indian planes were shot down. We are reaching out to the Indian Ministry of Defence for comment.

The locations of the engagement are “around Bhatinda” and Akhnoor, Chaudhry added, noting that there is an engagement “already ongoing between the two air forces.”

Bhatinda is a small town in the Indian state of Punjab that borders Pakistan and Akhnoor is located in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

Here's the latest on what we know about India's strikes deep inside Pakistan today​

From CNN staff

At least three Indian Air Force planes have been shot down, Pakistani security and government sources have told CNN, in the latest in escalating tensions between the two countries.

It comes shortly after India said it launched a military operation in Pakistan, hitting “terrorist infrastructure.”
At least eight people were killed, Pakistan said.

Meantime, a blast was also heard in the city of Srinagar, the largest city in Indian-administrated Kashmir, according to eyewitnesses.


Here’s what we know so far:
  • Pakistan’s response: A senior Pakistani intelligence source said three Indian jets were shot down in locations “within Indian territory,” as well as a drone. CNN cannot independently verify the claim. Pakistani Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif said the country “has every right” to respond.
  • Targets: India said nine sites in total were targeted. Pakistan said five locations were struck, three of them in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and two in Pakistan’s Punjab province. Those in Punjab are Ahmadpur East and Muridke.
  • Historical context: India’s strikes are the deepest New Delhi has ventured into Pakistan’s undisputed borders since the Indo-Pakistani war of 1971.
  • Global reaction: Senior India officials have spoken to their counterparts in a number of countries to brief them on the steps taken by New Delhi, according to a senior Indian government official.
  • Airspaces closed: Pakistan issued a notice closing airspace around Lahore, in the country’s north, and the coastal city of Karachi. Major Indian airline IndiGo reported impacted flights in and out of Jammu, Srinagar, Amritsar, Leh, Chandigarh, Dharamshala and Bikaner. SpiceJet, another airline, also said some airports in northern India are closed “until further notice.”
  • Why Kashmir is important: Kashmir is one of the world’s most dangerous flashpoints and is controlled in part by India and Pakistan but both countries claim it in its entirety. The two nuclear-armed rivals have fought three wars over the mountainous territory.

CNN’s Elise Hammond, Aditi Sangal, Sophia Saifi, Rhea Mogul, Max Saltman, Avery Schmitz and Thomas Bordeaux and reporter Vedika Sud contributed reporting to this post.

Rubio says he's monitoring situation closely​

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivers remarks during a a Declaration of Principles signing ceremony with Democratic Republic of the Congo Foreign Minister Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner and Rwandan Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe at the State Department on April 25, 2025 in Washington, DC.



US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said on X that he is monitoring the situation between India and Pakistan closely.
Earlier today, the Indian embassy in the US said that India's National Security Adviser Ajit Doval had spoken to Rubio "and briefed him on the actions taken".

President Donald Trump had also responded to media questions about India's strike, calling it "a shame".

"I just hope it ends very quickly," Trump said while speaking at the White House in Washington DC.

Rubio said he echoed the US president's comments "that this hopefully ends quickly". He also said that he would continue to engage with both Indian and Pakistani leadership "towards a peaceful resolution"
 
Per Khawaja Asif - 5 Indian jets shot down so far. I guess we'll have to wait for the ISPR brief in the morning.
 
This is still an engagement underway. It will be interesting on how much of what wreckage is produced. Some probably fell in India and there will be some footage. I hope the ones that fell in Pakistan , can produce some evidence so we can go with our head high (vs. just trust a claim).
 
best time to hit those indian dams rn
