Pakistan’s air force shot down two Indian warplanes Wednesday after they crossed the Kashmir border and captured a pilot, a Pakistani military official said.
Tensions have been simmering in the region after India launched an airstrike Tuesday following a suicide bombing that killed more than 40 soldiers in India’s section of the disputed territory of Kashmir earlier this month.
Indian air force spokesman Anupam Banerjee in New Delhi told the Associated Press he has no information on the incident.
Earlier, senior Indian police officer Munir Ahmed Khan said an Indian Air Force plane crashed in Indian-controlled sector of Kashmir. It wasn’t immediately known if there were casualties.
