PAKISTAN’S Prime Minister Imran Khan called for direct talks with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi today after the Pakistani air force said it had shot down two Indian war planes.

“Let’s sit together to find a solution,” he said on TV.

Pakistani Major-General Asif Ghafoor said two Indian aircraft had crossed into Pakistani airspace over the line of control which divides Indian — from Pakistani-controlled Kashmir. They had been shot down and one pilot captured, he said.
