Pakistan says it has shot down two Indian fighter jets inside its airspace, a spokesperson of the Pakistani army said, in a fresh escalation a day after India bombed targets in Pakistan.
The development comes as Indian officials said at least three Pakistani combat jets entered the airspace over Indian-administered Kashmir on Wednesday but returned after being intercepted by Indian Air Force planes.
“In response to PAF strikes this morning as released by MoFA, IAF crossed LOC. PAF shot down two Indian aircrafts inside Pakistani airspace. One of the aircraft fell inside AJ&K while other fell inside IOK. One Indian pilot arrested by troops on ground while two in the area,” Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor, spokesperson of the Pakistani army said on Twitter.
