US Watches as India and Pakistan Brawl

The two nuclear powers are colliding following a deadly terror attack.

The story

This week, India launched missile strikes against what it called nine terrorist infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. Pakistan has struck back in an ongoing tit-for-tat.

The attacks, dubbed "Operation Sindoor" by India, resulted in at least 31 civilian deaths, according to Pakistan. This escalation comes after an attack in Indian-administered Kashmir that killed 26 Indian tourists, which India blamed on Pakistani terrorists.
