French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in Indonesia with First Lady Brigitte following the viral ‘slap-gate’ moment in Vietnam, which he downplayed as playful “horsing around.” The visit marks the 75th anniversary of France-Indonesia diplomatic ties. Macron was welcomed with a grand military parade and met President Prabowo Subianto to discuss deepening cooperation in defense, energy, and digitization.

“NO EVIDENCE, JUST POSTS” : PAK Defence Minister MOCKED After No Proof On Jet Kill CNN Interview

Pakistan’s defense minister Khawaja Asif stunned viewers during a CNN interview by admitting that Islamabad’s claim of shooting down five Indian jets—including Rafales—was based entirely on Indian social media posts. He provided no military confirmation, stating, “the debris is on their side.” India had earlier launched a retaliatory airstrike on terror camps across Pakistan and PoK. Fact-checkers exposed Pakistan’s viral jet debris photos as old and unrelated. Asif warned of potential full-scale war, while indirectly acknowledging Indian strike casualties. #Pakistan #India #AirStrikes #Rafale #KhawajaAsif #CNNInterview #JetDownClaim #FakeNews #PahalgamAttack #OperationSindoor #IndianAirForce #PakistanAirForce #DefenseNews #IndiaVsPakistan #SocialMediaIntel #MilitaryIntel #WarFooting #PoKStrikes #JetDebrisHoax #MIG21Crash #FactCheck #PIBFactCheck #PakistanPropaganda #TerrorBaseStrikes #SouthAsiaConflict #BilateralTensions #PakMinisterSlip #BreakingNews #IndiaStrikesBack #AsifCNN Also Read Proof From Above: Satellite Pics Show Extent of Terror Site Damage in Operation Sindoor - Before & After Pics :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/proof-from-above-satellite-pics-show-extent-of-terror-site-damage-in-operation-sindoor-see-before-4147141.html?ref=DMDesc 'Pakistan Shot Down 5 Indian Jets' Claims Defence Minister Asif In CNN Interview, Becomes Butt Of A Joke :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-shot-down-5-indian-jets-claims-defence-minister-asif-on-cnn-interview-becomes-butt-of-a-4146991.html?ref=DMDesc Post-Strike Panic or Calculated Crime?

India Calls Out China for Spreading Lies On Operation Sindoor; Jaishankar Aide Destroys Xi's Media

In a bold move, India has fiercely criticized China’s state-run media, Global Times, for spreading disinformation regarding the Indian Air Force’s Operation Sindoor. The Indian Embassy in Beijing called out the media outlet for using outdated images of IAF crashes to mislead the public, claiming they were from the May 7 strikes.
