Pakistan's information ministry rejects NYT report on PAF aircraft use against Houthis
Most outlets reported that Pakistan’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting dismissed a New York Times report as "fake and fabricated," which claimed that Pakistan Air Force aircraft were being used against Yemen's Houthis. The framing was largely consistent, with most headlines and excerpts emphasizing the ministry's rejection and the characterization of the report as false. Some outlets, like the Business Recorder and Daily Times, briefly noted the alleged Saudi operation context, while others, like the Associated Press of Pakistan, used more neutral phrasing such as "employment of PAF aircraft." All excerpts focused on the ministry's denial without elaborating on the specifics of the original report or providing further context.
