India vs Pakistan

India has launched air strikes on the Pakistani side of the disputed Kashmir region. India says it was targeting a terrorist training camp, and claims to have killed 300 people. Pakistan says the attack was a "grave aggression." This is a significant escalation of recent tensions that began on February 14 with a suicide attack on Indian forces in Kashmir. Bloomberg
 
Pakistan Downs Two Indian Jets, Pilot Arrested, Army Says

Indian Stocks, Rupee Falls as Army Says Pakistan Downed Two Jets
Pakistani fighter jets shot down two Indian aircraft on Wednesday, according to a military spokesman, in a dramatic escalation just one day after the Indian Air Force bombed a terrorist training camp inside Pakistan.

Pakistan’s air force "shot down two Indian aircraft inside Pakistani airspace," said military spokesman Asif Ghafoor. One of the aircraft fell inside Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, and the other crashed on India’s side of the Line of Control. An Indian pilot ejected over Pakistani territory and was arrested, he said.

Pakistan’s air force struck at targets inside Indian-controlled Kashmir on Wednesday, but did so from their own airspace, according to a separate statement from Pakistan’s foreign ministry.

"We have no intention of escalation, but are fully prepared to do so if forced into that paradigm. That is why we undertook the action with clear warning and in broad daylight," the Pakistan foreign ministry statement said.

The latest reports come a day after Indian Air Force jets bombed a terrorist training camp inside Pakistan. India’s rupee reversed gains, while Pakistan’s benchmark stock index plunged 3 percent at 11:07 a.m. in Karachi.

Indian defense spokesman Col. Aman Anand did not respond to calls or texts for comment.

I'm a little surprised this seems to be a non issue for everyone. There are now reports of firefights between ground troops. Two nuclear powers toe to toe and firing at each other, and nobody cares? Odd.

Yeah I know.
I think its worse than they are letting on. The Pakistani Prime Minister "called for talks" today... while that sounds good... that tells me its serious as all get out.
 
India and Pakistan

Tensions between India and Pakistan continue to ratchet up in a very scary fashion. The latest: Pakistan claims to have shot down two Indian Air Force jets inside Pakistani airspace, India has apparently shot down a Pakistani jet that violated its airspace, no planes are reportedly allowed to fly north of Delhi right now, and armies are on high alert. The yen and Swiss franc have strengthened as investors flee for safe markets. Bloomberg
