Up to three fighter jets have been shot down over the disputed Kashmir region. Pakistani officials say they have shot down two Indian Air Force planes over Pakistani territory and captured two pilots. India says it lost one fighter jet with one pilot who unaccounted for, and it has shot down one Pakistani jet. It's the latest development in the decades-long dispute in Kashmir, which was sparked two weeks ago when militants based in Pakistan carried out a suicide bombing at Pulwama in Indian-administered Kashmir. Forty Indian soldiers were killed.
