Regarding how to know if an enemy aircraft has been shot down at range beyond visual identification. Obviously the long range radar, either ground radar or air borne radar is needed, or the radar on the shooting aircraft (J10CE) has to keep tracking until the missile meets the target and both signal disappeared after that.
Also each aircraft type of IAF may have its radar signature already recorded in PAF's data base, thus they should be able to identify what aircraft were shot down. (similarly the Taiwanese can identify which PLAAF aircraft flying around the island as in their regular reports that we saw frequently).
And if an Indian aircraft was damaged but able to fly back to base, its radar signal can be tracked but Pakistan side would not be able to known the damage status.

don't know if this has been posted here yet. but so far these are the only confirmations from more authoritative news sources rather than just from some random Twitter accounts making all sorts of claimes.
ISLAMABAD/WASHINGTON, May 8 (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.
An Indian Air Force spokesperson said he had no comment when asked about the Reuters report.
One U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said there was high confidence that Pakistan had used the Chinese-made J-10 aircraft to launch air-to-air missiles against Indian fighter jets - bringing down at least two.
Another official said at least one Indian jet that was shot down was a French-made Rafale fighter aircraft.
Both officials said Pakistan's F-16 aircraft, made by Lockheed Martin. were not used in the shootdown.
A high-ranking French intelligence official told CNN today that one Rafale fighter jet operated by the Indian Air Force was downed by Pakistan, in what would mark the first time that one of the sophisticated French-made warplanes has been lost in combat.
The French official told CNN that French authorities were looking into whether more than one Rafale jets were shot down by Pakistan overnight.
so, so far we have confirmed 2 Indian aircrafts down with at least one being a Rafale. initially local govt sources in Kashmir said three aircrafts crashed down. there could more than one Rafale lost
