The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) shot down two Indian aircraft which violated its airspace on Wednesday. One of the Indian pilots was also arrested by Pakistan who is being 'treated well'.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan offered India one more time to start a dialogue  in an address to the Pakistani nation saying, it was nowhere in the interest of Pakistan for it to be used as a base for militancy.

Tension escalated between Pakistan and India in the aftermath of Pulwama attack on February 14th following which Indian Air Force violated Line of Control on Tuesday before being whisked away by Pakistan Air Force.
