Pakistan military says it shot down 2 Indian jets after airspace violation
Tehran (KNA) - Pakistan says it has shot down two Indian military jets, which violated its airspace, and captured two pilots amid escalating tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors over the recent developments in disputed Kashmir.
The Pakistani military's spokesman, Major General Asif Ghafoor, said in a Twitter message that two Indian Air Force planes had been targeted in the airspace over the Islamabad-administered side of Kashmir.
Ghafoor said one of the aircraft fell on India's side of Kashmir, while the second came down in Pakistani-held territory with two pilots captured, he added.
One of the captured pilots was in custody and the other was in hospital, he said.
The Pakistan government's official Twitter account released a video of what it said was one of the Indian pilots.
