| An IAF spokesman said bad weather is hampering the search and added that no trace has been found yet of the machines or the pilots.
The search operations are being carried out on the mountains on either side of the Sindh river which bisects the Sonmarg valley.
The missing Jaguars were on a valley training sortie with two other fighter aircraft when they lost contact with ground control. All four aircraft had taken off from the Ambala airbase.
