“Funeral of Indian fighter jet<\/span> held in Pakistan. Pakistani people are putting out the fire with sand,” reads the Bengali-language caption of a Facebook video<\/a> posted on May 7, 2025<\/span>.<\/p>\n The video shows the burning wreckage of a crashed fighter jet, with some individuals speaking in Punjabi trying to put out the flames by throwing sand and dirt on it.<\/p>\n It was shared as India and Pakistan engaged in four days of intense fighting<\/span><\/a> in the worst violence<\/span> between the nuclear-armed neighbours in decades. More than 70 people on both sides were killed in the jet fighter, missile, drone and heavy artillery attacks which came to a halt on May 10 after the announcement of a ceasefire (archived link<\/a>).<\/p>\n The conflict was sparked\u00a0by an attack on tourists by gunmen in Indian-administered Kashmir on April 22 that New Delhi accused Islamabad of backing — a charge Pakistan denies.<\/p>\n
