Amid the escalating war between India and Pakistan, global tensions have taken a dangerous turn with China now accused of directly targeting Indian military aircraft in a rapidly expanding conflict that’s rattling the entire region.
According to explosive claims from the United States, China is believed to have shot down two Indian fighter jets in what’s being described as covert military cooperation with Pakistan. The allegations, if confirmed, could trigger a new level of confrontation among three nuclear-armed powers.
China has strongly denied any involvement in the alleged takedown, dismissing the accusations as false and provocative.
Meanwhile, Pakistan has refuted India’s claims that it launched missile and drone strikes on three Indian military bases, denying any responsibility for the attacks that have left the subcontinent teetering on the brink.
Following the strikes, widespread power outages were reported in Kashmir, intensifying fears that this multi-front standoff is quickly spiraling into a broader regional war with Sri Lanka caught in the geopolitical crossfire.
As diplomatic channels scramble to contain the fallout, the world watches nervously because what’s unfolding in South Asia may no longer be just a border conflict, but the flashpoint of a global war.
