Within the early hours of Wednesday, India launched a collection of strikes on Pakistan that killed at the very least 26 folks – a severe escalation of the decades-long dispute between the 2 nuclear-armed nations over Kashmir.
Because the Guardian’s south Asia correspondent, Hannah Ellis-Petersen, experiences, the onslaught was in response to a terrorist assault in Kashmir two weeks in the past that left 26 useless. India claims the group accountable is backed by its neighbour – an accusation Pakistan denies.
Now, as Michael Safi hears, India is braced for Pakistan’s response. May this spiral right into a full-scale struggle?
