Pakistan says it has shot down two Indian military jets flying into its air space.

It comes after an airstrike by India in Pakistani territory on a training camp reportedly belonging to the Jaish-e-Mohammed network.

The terror group has claimed responsibility for a car bomb attack that killed at least 40 Indian police officers in the disputed territory of Kashmir in early February.

India and Pakistan both of whom are nuclear-armed -- claim all of Kashmir, but control only parts of it.

Following the latest developments, Pakistan's military has released a video it claims shows an Indian pilot it captured.

In the video, the man said to be the captured pilot, is being questioned by the Pakistani military.
