Mohammad Razzaq Chaudhry was in the courtyard of his house in Horra'n village, located barely 7km from the Line of Control (LoC) in Azad Jammu and Kashmir's Bhimber district, at about 8:45am on Wednesday when the "smoke and sound' made him realise that a dogfight was going on up above in the sky.

Upon watching them carefully, the 58-year-old political and social activist of the area noticed that two aircraft had caught fire but while one of them sped across the LoC, the other burst into flames and came down speedily.
