Pakistani jets violated Indian air space in Jammu and Kashmir’s Nowshera area but were successfully confronted and pushed back by Indian jets on air patrol.

The Pakistani jets had entered into Indian air space over Rajouri district this morning, the official said.

The air space violation by Pakistani jets comes a day after Indian Air Force jets flew across the Line of Control to blow up Jaish-e-Mohammed’s biggest terror camp.

Meanwhile, the Srinagar airport is closed and operations have also been suspended at the Jammu and Leh airports.

More details are awaited.
