Tensions Rise In Kashmir

Pakistan says it will respond to Indian air strikes at a "time and place of its choosing."

Pakistan has warned it will respond to an air strike by Indian warplanes inside its territory, close to the town of Balakot, at a "time and place of its choosing". India has said its missiles were targeting a militant training camp run by the group Jaish e Mohammad, which had claimed responsibility for an attack earlier this month, in Indian-controlled Kashmir. Pakistan denies the existence of such militant facilities on its soil. What does all this mean for the region?
