Three Indian fighter jets crashed on Wednesday on home territory, a senior Indian security source said, without giving the cause.
Two airplanes crashed in India-run Jammu and Kashmir, and another in India鈥檚 Punjab state, the source said.
It was not immediately clear what had happened to the pilots.
The crashes came after New Delhi launched missile strikes on its arch-rival Pakistan, and the two sides then fired heavy artillery along their contested frontier.
