The US Embassy in Islamabad confirmed on March 3 that it was looking into reports that Pakistan used F-16 fighter jets to shoot down an Indian plane, possibly violating Washington's arms sales agreements that restrict how Pakistan uses these planes.
Cross-border shelling across the Line of Control that divides India and Pakistan in the disputed Kashmir region in the past few days has killed seven Pakistanis and four Indians, bringing the total number of deaths in Kashmir to 25 in the past two weeks.
