Pakistan has reportedly shot down two Indian jets, capturing one pilot, amid escalating tension between the two countries.

The air raids took place over the disputed territory of Kashmir just one day after India bombed targets in Pakistan, according to BBC.

“Today, Pakistan Air Force undertook strikes across Line of Control from within Pakistani airspace,” the foreign ministry said in a statement Wednesday.

Pakistan also said it had launched airstrikes across the Line of Control dividing Pakistani and Indian-controlled Kashmir, the BBC said.

Pakistan said it had “taken strikes at [a] non-military target, avoiding human loss and collateral damage.”

The aerial attacks across the Line of Control were the first since the war between the two countries in 1971.

India responded by shutting down at least four airports in the northern part of the country.
