JUST IN Indian fighter jets intercept Pakistani planes in Kashmir
SRINAGAR/NEW DELHI -Pakistani fighter jets violated airspace over Indian Kashmir on Wednesday but were forced back over the de facto border of the disputed territory, sources and local media said. Reports were also coming in that Srinagar airport on the Indian side of Kashmir was closed for three hours on Wednesday. Xinhua reported that an Indian fighter jet had crashed in Kashmir.
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.
