“I have no information,” said a defence spokesman.
Pakistan accuses Indian Air Force of violating LoC
Earlier, Pakistan's military said that the Indian military aircraft crossed into its territory in the disputed Kashmir region and “released a payload” after Pakistan scrambled its own jets, but there was no casualties or damage.
The confrontation follows escalating tensions between the nuclear-armed rivals since the February 14 terror attack in Kashmir, when 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were killed by a Pakistani-based militant group.
Pakistani military spokesman Major General Asif Ghafoor said that facing timely and effective response from Pakistan Air Force, the Indian aircraft released payload in haste while escaping which fell near Balakot. No casualties or damage.
Balakot, a town in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan, is about 50 km (31 miles) from the Line of Control (LoC), which acts as a de facto border between the two countries that have fought three wars since their independence from British colonial rule in 1947.
