By Saeed Shah, Idrees Ali ISLAMABAD/WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A top Chinese-made Pakistani fighter plane shot down at least two Indian military aircraft on Wednesday, two U.S. officials told Reuters, marking a major milestone for Beijing's advanced fighter jet.

Pakistan said it shot down five Indian fighter jets, which it identified as French- and Russian-origin fighter aircraft.

Open-source information suggests that the Indian Air Force likely suffered damage during the attack, potentially including the loss of several aircraft.
