NEW DELHI - Pakistan and India both claimed to have shot down each other's aircraft on Wednesday (Feb 27), as they sought to gain the upper hand in a propaganda war while tensions escalate over Kashmir.
Pakistan was first to claim it had shot down two Indian Air Force (IAF) jets, with a government spokesman saying one of the aircraft had fallen inside Pakistani territory and two Indian pilots had been arrested. It was later corrected to one pilot, whose image was tweeted.
