The Indian government yesterday said that it expects “immediate and safe return” of the Indian Air Force pilot captured by Pakistan after the air combat in which they engaged on Wednesday morning.

The Ministry of External Affairs had said previously that a Mig-21 had been lost while a pilot was missing after Fighter jets from both countries engaged in a direct battle earlier today, a day after Indian Air Force fighter jets targeted a Jaish-e-Mohammed camp at Pakistan’s Balakot.
