Pakistani PM calls for talks after Indian warplanes shot down

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has called for talks after the downing of two Indian warplanes over Kashmir and the capture of a pilot, in a major escalation of the conflict in the disputed territory. An army spokesman said Pakistan 's air force shot down the jets after they crossed the boundary between the two nuclear rivals in the region. Major General Asif Ghafoor said one plane went down in Indian-controlled Kashmir and another crashed on its own territory where troops on the ground detained a pilot. Earlier, he had said two pilots had been captured, one of whom was injured and had been taken to a military hospital.
