Pakistan says it shot down Indian jets, carried out air strikes in Kashmir.

Pakistan carried out air strikes and shot down two Indian jets on Wednesday, Pakistani officials said, a day after Indian warplanes struck inside Pakistan for the first time since a war in 1971, prompting several world powers to urge both sides to show restraint.

"History tells us that wars are full of miscalculation. My question is that given the weapons we have can we afford miscalculation," Khan said during a brief televised broadcast to the nation."We should sit down and talk." U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke separately with the foreign ministers of India and Pakistan and urged them to avoid"further military activity" following Tuesday's air strike.

Describing the Pakistani air mission before the downing of the Indian jets, Ghafoor said Pakistani planes"locked" on Indian ground targets to demonstrate their capabilities to strike, but deliberately fired elsewhere on open spaces where there would be no casualties. India shot down one Pakistani plane that landed in Pakistani territory, and that it had lost one of its own planes, not two, with the pilot"missing in action", Kumar added.At the Pakistani briefing, Ghafoor produced photographs of weapons and identity documents he said were carried by Indian pilots.

Pakistan shut its airspace, with commercial flights in the country canceled. Flights from the Middle East and India were also affected. "So far there are no casualties but there is panic among people," said Rahul Yadav, the deputy commissioner of the Poonch district on the Indian side where some of the shelling took place.

I think they both have nervous pilots that drop their loads early and run home.

They say they hate terrorists, but get really mad when you take them out for them.
