UPDATE Pakistan shoots down two Indian fighter jets after dropping bombs across de facto border
SRINAGAR/NEW DELHI - Pakistan shot down two Indian Air Force planes in its airspace in Kashmir on Wednesday , a military spokesman said, adding that one Indian pilot had been captured. “PAF shot down two Indian aircrafts inside Pakistani airspace,” tweeted military spokesman Major General Asif Ghafoor, adding that one aircraft had fallen in Pakistani-held Kashmir, while the other crashed on the Indian side.
Pakistan has promised to retaliate for Tuesday's air strikes, and security across India has been tightened. The two countries have fought three wars since independence from British colonial rule in 1947 and went to the brink a fourth in 2002 after a Pakistani militant attack on India's Parliament. In Punjab, an Indian state that borders Pakistan, security alerts are in place in several districts, according to media reports.
