The Pakistan Air Force F-16s was brought down in the Lam Valley in Nowshera sector. Commenting on the ongoing activity, Celina Jaitley took to her Twitter  and wrote: "The difference between #India and #Pakistan is that We Indians are fighting AGAINST terrorism and #Pakistan is unfortunately fighting FOR the terrorists....who one day will gnaw at the very roots that are protecting the growing weed.   #Salute to our #pilots @IAF_MCC"

The shooting down of the F-16 was part of the Indian Air Force's successful confronting and pushing back of Pakistani jets in two sectors of Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday after an infiltration attempt into Indian airspace. Pakistan has closed its own airspace following India bringing down its fighter jet.
Three Pakistan aircrafts tried to intrude into the Indian territory, but found no way inside as the Su-30s of the Indian Air Force shot down one of their jets and forced the other two to go back.

After witnessing yet another failure, Asif Ghafoor, the spokesperson of Pakistan armed forces said: "We can do anything, but we don't want to erupt peace. We wish to have peace, not war. The state of Pakistan and our forces want peace, and we are capable of it. We want to follow the path which leads to peace. It is up to India now. If they choose aggression, then we will respond in a similar manner. But we want whatever is good for the region."

The incursion comes a day after the Indian Air Force had successfully eliminated terror training camps in Pakistan and PoK which were functioning with full impunity. The very fact that Pakistan tried to use official assets to come into Indian air space, just a day later, is only a further corroboration of the narrative that they fully support those in the JeM, the LeT and the Hizbul Mujahideen camps eliminated by India.
