Auf militärischer Ebene wird weiter "gezündelt". Nachfolgend Vorfälle vom gestrigen Tag.
1. Vorfall: Pakistanische Drohne im indischen Luftraum abgeschossen
...
Indian Air Force radars detected the drone's presence in Indian airspace at around 11:30 this morning.
The IAF immediately scrambbled Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighter jets from the Nal Airforce Station, located on the outskirts of Bikaner. The jets took to the skies and took down the drone by firing an air-to-air missile.
The drone's debris landed in Pakistan on a sand dune name MW Toba.
Interestingly, just before news broke in India of the Indian Air Force shooting the Pakistani aircraft, Pakistani Twitter exploded with speculation that Indian Air Force had carried out another airstrike, this time across the Rajasthan border.
Several Twitter handles tweeted photos of a broken metal object, saying that it the debris of bombs that Indian Air Force jets had dropped in Fort Abbas in Pakistan's Punjab.
The Pakistan military said there was no airstrike and that the photos of the metal objects were fuel tanks dumped by Pakistani jets flying in the area.

The Pakistani military has claimed to have "detected" and "thwarted" an attempt by an Indian Navy submarine to enter Pakistani waters. A Pakistan Navy spokesperson said, "The Pakistan Navy used its specialised skills to ward off the submarine, successfully keeping it from entering Pakistani waters".
"The Indian submarine was not targeted keeping in view Pakistan's policy of peace," the spokesperson said.
The Pakistan Navy also released a video purportedly of the Indian submarine. The video, shot from air, shows the mast of a submarine above water.
Sources within the Indian defence establishment told India Today TV that they are "verifying" the video for authenticity. Initial scrutiny of the video suggests that the video is from 2016, he sources said, and its release now is part of a "propaganda stunt" by Pakistan.

Falschmeldungen wie hier bei der Drohne über Twitter tun ihr übriges und schon ergibt sich ein falsches Bild der Lage.
Beim vermeidlichen U-Boot Vorfall stellt sich die Frage was schlimmer wäre, dass es tatsächlich passiert ist oder durch Pakistan gefaked wurde.
Letzteres könnte schlimmstenfalls bedeuten, dass man hier Dinge inszeniert um bereits geplante Militäraktionen zu rechtfertigen.
