Pakistan Claims Up to 50 Indian Soldiers Killed in Border Clashes

In escalating tensions along the Line of Control (LoC) between India and Pakistan, Pakistan claims to have killed 40 to 50 Indian soldiers during recent exchanges of fire, including missile and drone attacks. Pakistani officials, including Information Minister Attaullah Tarar, assert that they have also downed multiple Indian fighter jets, including advanced Rafale jets, and destroyed Indian military installations, countering India's recent airstrikes in retaliation for a terror attack in Kashmir. India reported casualties and damage as well, with shelling killing civilians and Indian forces claiming to have thwarted Pakistani drone and missile attacks. Both sides accuse each other of aggression, with Pakistan denying involvement in supporting militants accused by India. The conflict continues amid heavy artillery fire and drone warfare, though fears of a wider all-out war have not yet materialized. International observers find it difficult to independently verify claims amid the fog of war.
