At least eight people were killed, 35 others injured, and 2 were missing on Wednesday after India fired missiles at six different locations in Pakistan, said the Pakistani military, the Xinhua News Agency reported on Wednesday.
The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has shot down another Indian fighter jet in response to overnight airstrikes, sources from the Pakistani military said on Wednesday, according to Xinhua.
This is the third Indian fighter jet that has been shot down in response to the overnight strikes, said the military sources.
"Pakistani forces are giving a befitting reply to Indian aggression," a military statement said, adding that all PAF aircraft involved in the operation had returned safely, Xinhua reported.
Eyewitnesses in Rawalpindi, a major city in Pakistan's eastern Punjab province, reported seeing a missile in the air, which was believed to have been launched from within Pakistani territory, according to Xinhua.
The Indian government on Wednesday confirmed carrying out air strikes on nine identified "terrorist-training camps" located in the Pakistan-controlled Kashmir. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally monitored the air strikes, according to Indian media reports, Xinhua reported.
