The escalation follows April's deadly attack on tourists in the disputed Kashmir region. India accuses Pakistan of backing the attack, which Pakistan denies. Wednesday's early morning strikes on Pakistan and the threat of retaliation have stoked fears of a war between the nuclear armed neighbours. It's the biggest breakdown in relations between them since 2019, but the early morning strikes show that India can hurt Pakistan without entering its airspace or deploying nuclear weapons. India was under huge pressure to respond because the victims in last month's gun attack were civilians. It said its armed forces targeted sites used by militants linked to the assault. In the current situation, it's up to Pakistan to decide how it fights back without provoking India further and without starting something it can't win. So far, it claims to have shot down several Indian jets in retaliation. Furthermore, Pakistan's National Security Committee says the country has the right to respond in self-defence at a time, place and manner of its choosing. That statement doesn't rule out retaliation, but it doesn't guarantee it either. For now, India and Pakistan might feel they've done enough to show their strength at home and each other. The next 24 hours are going to be crucial to see who makes the next move. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Pakistan Vows to ‘Settle the Score’ Against India After Missile Attack: What to Know","description":"The long-simmering tensions between India and Pakistan are on the cusp of boiling over.
