Pakistan calls ceasefire after IAF destroys 6 jets, C-130, and drones

The recent conflict between India and Pakistan, which ignited on the night of May 6-7, concluded with Pakistan calling for a ceasefire on May 10 after suffering significant losses. The Indian Air Force launched a series of precise air strikes targeting Pakistani military assets, including fighter jets, transport aircraft, and drones.

According to ongoing analysis, the Indian Air Force destroyed 6 Pakistani Air Force fighter jets, one C-130 transport aircraft, over 10 unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs), and multiple cruise missiles. These strikes were executed using air-launched cruise missiles exclusively, without deploying surface-to-surface BrahMos missiles, underscoring the precision and strategic nature of the attacks.

The conflict was triggered as a retaliation by India against terrorist activities linked to the Pahalgam terror attack, with Indian forces targeting terrorist universities in Pakistan's Punjab and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

The Pakistani request for a ceasefire came in light of the heavy damage inflicted by the Indian Air Force, marking a pause in hostilities after four days of intense military engagement.

"The conflict lasted till May 10 afternoon when Pakistan side requested for a ceasefire in view of the heavy losses suffered by it in the attacks by the Indian Air Force," officials noted.

This episode highlights the escalating tensions and the use of advanced missile technology in the region, with significant implications for future India-Pakistan relations and regional security dynamics.
