On July 18, US President Donald Trump spoke at a White House dinner with Republican lawmakers. He said that five jets were shot down during the recent fight between India and Pakistan. However, he didn’t say which country lost the aircraft or share more details.
His words quickly drew global attention because no official report had confirmed this number before. The conflict he mentioned started in Indian-controlled Kashmir, a region that often causes problems between the two countries.
The fight between India and Pakistan made many people worry about a larger war. People in the region and around the world feared the conflict might grow. Thankfully, in May, both countries agreed to a ceasefire, which helped reduce the tension.
Since the ceasefire, both India and Pakistan have mostly followed the agreement. Life became calmer in the border areas, and local people feel safer than before.
President Trump’s comment has once again brought focus to the Kashmir issue. Experts say both nations must keep talking and solve their problems with peace. They believe leaders should choose dialogue over war because regular people suffer the most when conflicts happen.
So far, the White House has not shared more details about President Trump’s claim. Many are still wondering what really happened with the jets he talked about.
