Initially, the Pakistan spokesperson claimed two Indian pilots had been arrested with one being treated for injuries in a military hospital, but later said only one pilot was in military custody.
The confrontation comes a day after India launched airstrikes in Pakistan and marks the first incursion by the Indian Air Force into Pakistan since the India-Pakistan war of 1971.
