Trump revises India–Pakistan conflict claim, says eight planes were shot down

By A Staff Reporter

Washington: In yet another revision of his earlier remarks, US President Donald Trump has claimed that eight aircraft were shot down during the armed conflict between India and Pakistan in May. The statement, made without specifying which side’s planes were involved, has added to a series of inconsistent comments from the President on South Asian military affairs.

Trump’s latest claim marks a departure from his previous figures, which had fluctuated in earlier statements following the India–Pakistan confrontation. The President did not provide details about the nature of the conflict, the timeline of the alleged incident, or the sources for his information.
