Two Indian aircraft shot down inside airspace, Pakistan confirms

Tensions have dramatically escalated between the nuclear-armed rivals.

Pakistan confirmed on Wednesday that it had carried out airstrikes in Kashmir and shot down two Indian jets in its own airspace, capturing one of the pilots as the conflict with its nuclear-armed neighbour continued to escalate.

"Today, Pakistan Air Force undertook strikes across Line of Control from within Pakistani airspace," the foreign ministry said in a statement.

 

The Pakistan military said Indian jets had entered Pakistan in response and two had been shot down, with one pilot captured.

Tensions have dramatically escalated between the nuclear-armed rivals since Indian warplanes flew into Pakistani airspace and struck what New Delhi said was a camp of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), the group that claimed the Kashmir bombing.
