Risk of Another India-Pakistan Military Conflict

India and Pakistan are in danger of starting another armed conflict. India may attack Pakistan after accusing its neighbor of aiding a terrorist attack in the Indian-held part of the state of Jammu and Kashmir that took 26 lives last week. Several terrorist attacks of lesser magnitude have occurred in the last year. 

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi takes pride in acting tough with Pakistan. In 2016, he ordered “surgical strikes” across the border to hit alleged terrorist camps.
