India, Pakistan down each other's jets as Kashmir conflict heats up

on February 14, but the risk of conflict rose dramatically on Tuesday when India launched an air strike on what it said was a militant training base.

The conflict also comes at a critical time for Indian Prime Minster Narendra Modi, who faces a general election in a matter of months. "I expressed to both ministers that we encourage India and Pakistan to exercise restraint, and avoid escalation at any cost," Pompeo said in a statement on Wednesday. Ghafoor said the Pakistani aircraft had carried out the strikes in response to India's air strike the day before but had taken deliberate action to ensure no casualties were caused.

Raveesh Kumar, a spokesman for India's foreign ministry, gave a different account, telling a news briefing that the Pakistan air strikes on military targets had been "foiled". The man, whose face is bloodied and blindfolded, gives his name and service number, before telling a man questioning him: "I'm sorry sir, that's all I'm supposed to tell you."

Five Indian soldiers suffered minor wounds in the shelling that ended on Wednesday morning, he added.

Such irresponsible reporting without verifying official statements...you r publishing rumours...shame on you

And.. After they have slaughtered each other by the thousands, they'll arrive at exactly the same position as they are now.

With China urging, prodding and funding Pakistan behind the scenes. There’s a bigger game afoot here. Auspol

Let’s value human life and denounce egos.Pakistan denounce war. May sanity prevail along with peace.

Anyone with 2 brain cells can see the world would be a less violent place on numerous levels without Pakistan! Just ask women in the UK for one instance, duplicity in terrorism aside!

Pakistan doesn’t want war. In fact, a Pakistani PM has repeatedly asked for for dialogue and peace. But what do you do when war comes to you? India loves and wants war. India bombed us and came into our airspace. Pakistan has no choice but to defend itself. Long live Pakistan !!

Mad as cut snakes.

Time to finish the Indian call center's scamming whole world

Mr. Sikh why are you dressing like that? Why you being so happy about the possible deaths of brothers, sons and husbands.
