—❗️🇮🇳/🇵🇰 NEW: Initial reports that a Pakistani fighter jet was shot down over India, and footage seems to confirm the downing of something – but could also be a drone

Have to wait for wreckage identification or an official statement from the Pakistani side. Crash allegedly happened near Pathankot.

Footage could also be from the night before yesterday, when those Indian jets were downed.

Have to wait to confirm.

— 🇺🇸/🇾🇪 NEW: The United States' war against Yemen, dubbed 'Operation Rough Rider,' cost over $1 billion in just one month and three weeks, depleting American stockpiles, according to a report by NBC News

At least $775 million worth of munitions were used over approximately 50 days.

A U.S. official familiar with the operations told NBC News, 'The administration was clearly looking for an off-ramp for this campaign.'

They added that measuring the success of the bombings is difficult, as MQ-9 'Reaper' drones deployed to assess target hits were often shot down by Yemeni Armed Forces.

These costs do not include 'Operation Prosperity Guardian,' launched in December 2023 under the Biden administration.

Both operations ultimately failed in their goals to restore freedom of Israeli-linked shipping in the Red Sea and halt Yemen's attacks against Israel.

— 🇮🇳/🇵🇰 Indians have rushed to edit the Wikipedia page on the current Pakistan-India clashes

Among many other false claims, Indians have now written on Wikipedia that 1 Pakistani F-16 and two JF-17s were shot down by India.

– The claim of the downed F-16 originates from an AI generated image on Twitter, and has already been retracted by Indian media.

– The claim of the two downed JF-17s originates from an AI-edited video of a Pakistani military spokesman 'admitting' the losses.

Both claims are so outrageous that even Indian officials are not currently stating any of it.

On the other hand, verified footage and independent analysts have confirmed several of Pakistan's claims.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇱 NEW: Israeli Army Radio reports that President Trump has decided to 'cut contact' with Netanyahu, stating that Netanyahu and his associates act 'arrogant' and try to push around the President

Close associates of Trump told Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs, Ron Dermer, that the President feels disrespected and manipulated by Netanyahu, and that there's nothing he hates more than 'appearing as easily manipulated' in public. – (IDF Radio)

— NOTE: Cut contact with Netanyahu personally, not with Israel.

Nothing will change. Communication will just happen through their aides. But perhaps Trump will stand his ground a little more.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇾🇪 U.S. Ambassador to Israel:

'We don't need Israel's permission to conclude an agreement with the Houthis.

If one of the 700,000 American citizens inside Israel is hurt by a Houthi attack, then we'll respond, otherwise we have nothing to do with it.'
