India-Pakistan Border Clash Escalates to Near War
Early Saturday, escalating tensions between India and Pakistan reached a critical point with Pakistan alleging that India launched air-to-surface missile attacks on at least three of its air bases, including one near Islamabad. Pakistan subsequently claimed to have retaliated by targeting Indian air bases and a missile storage facility. This exchange of strikes represents a considerable escalation of the conflict, which began Wednesday, between the two nuclear-armed nations. The attacks involved significant explosions, with witnesses reporting large fireballs. The Pakistani military warned of further action, expressing concerns about a potential regional war.
