BIG: Pakistan-India fighter jet “dog fight” was one of largest and longest in recent aviation history, CNN reports.

More attacks: Port Sudan, a key Red Sea port and temporary base for Sudan’s military government, has faced repeated drone attacks since May 4, 2025, attributed to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

The strikes have hit critical infrastructure, including the airport, naval base, fuel storage, power substations, and a hotel near government buildings, causing fires, explosions, and a citywide blackout.

Sudan has severed diplomatic ties with the UAE, accusing it of arming the RSF.

Pakistan’s claim that it shot down Indian warplanes trended on China’s Weibo, with some users praising the country’s military strength.

One top comment said if true, “All of China’s major military enterprises will have orders queuing up.”

Hu Xijin, former Global Times editor, wrote on WeChat that if Pakistan’s strikes are confirmed, it shows “China’s military manufacturing has surpassed Russia and France,” adding that Taiwan should be “even more scared.”

Trump on Iran's nuclear facilities:

We can blow them up nicely or blow them up viciously. But I prefer a verified deal.

Pakistani Army:

Pakistani Army:

Indian drones continue to be sent into Pakistani airspace, and Pakistan is engaging and neutralising them one by one.

Pakistani Army:

India is paying dearly, and will continue to pay dearly for this naked aggression.

Indian Ambassador to the US:

Our partners in the US should tell the Pakistanis to stop supporting these terrorists.
