INTERVIEW: The conflict in Kashmir
Dr Walter Ladwig from Kings College London Source: AP
Recent days in Kashmir have seen India and Pakistan embroiled in their worst military escalation in decades. Tensions between the two nuclear powers dramatically escalated following a deadly attack on tourists in Pahalgam in Indian-administered Kashmir, which left 26 dead. India launched what it calls a calibrated military operation targeting what it says are terrorist sites inside Pakistan-administered territory and in Pakistan itself. But Pakistani authorities says civilians, including children, were killed. India says it has information that more strikes were planned on its territory, and the action it took was pre-emptive and necessary to stop those taking place.
