| [NYTimes] The strikes came after an attack by militants killed more than two dozen civilians in Indian-administered Kashmir and are an intensification of a conflict between two nuclear powers. India said early Wednesday that it had conducted strikes on Pakistan, two weeks after an attack by armed militants killed more than two dozen civilians in Indian-administered Kashmir.
“Our actions have been focused, measured, and nonescalatory in nature,” the Indian government said. “No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted.” In its own statement, the Pakistani government said that the strikes “will not go unanswered” and that it would respond at “a time and place of its own choosing.” It added, “The temporary pleasure of India will be replaced by enduring grief.” Pakistani military officials said they had begun a “measured but forceful” response. They did not share operational details but said that retaliation was underway. The precise nature of the Indian strikes — whether they involved missiles fired from India or Indian fighter jets crossing into Pakistan — was unclear. The Pakistani military said that Indian planes did not enter Pakistan’s airspace in conducting the attacks.

| #6 ^ Rumors are Rubio is desperately trying to get through to the Indian leadership without much luck. As far as I can tell, India and Pakistan really are starting to mix it up. |

| #2 Zerohedge says the Indians hit terrorist infrastructure and not military targets. From the link: The fact that India is taking pains to let the Pakistani side know that no official military sites were targeted strongly suggests New Delhi is trying to strike without it leading to escalation. But it would seem highly unlikely that the Paks won't respond. |
