NEW DELHI: As tensions build between India and Pakistan over last week’s deadly attack on tourists in Kashmir, the focus is now turning to whether military conflict is a likelihood between the nuclear-armed neighbours.
Though officials don’t expect the South Asian countries to launch a larger-scale offensive, partly because of Kashmir’s difficult mountainous terrain, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is under pressure to retaliate.
