Pakistan's military has confirmed that an aircraft was slightly damaged in a recent skirmish with India. The admission came after both countries agreed to halt all military action immediately.

Chaudhry, however, did not disclose the details of the aircraft that was damaged. When asked about reports of an Indian pilot being held hostage by Pakistan at the press conference, Chaudhry categorically denied the claims.
