India rejects Pak claim of two Indian aircraft shot down in its airspace

Pakistan on Wednesday claimed that it shot down two Indian military aircraft over Pakistani air space and arrested one of the pilots but India said it knows of no such incident. There are no reports of any IAF jet suffering damage in action by India's adversaries, defence sources in the Indian capital said.

Pakistani military spokesperson Major General Asif Ghafoor claimed in a tweet that one of the aircraft crashed in Pakistan occupied Kashmir while the other fell in Jammu and Kashmir. "One Indian pilot arrested by troops on ground while two in the area," he said without elaborating.
