India-Pakistan tensions escalate after shootdown of fighter jets over Kashmir
UPI reports: "Tensions between Pakistan and India escalated Wednesday when the
Pakistani air force shot down two Indian fighter jets after they entered
national airspace, authorities said. [...] Both countries lay claim to
Kashmir, a Muslim-majority area in the northern region of the Indian
continent, but control only segments of it. India's Jammu and Kashmir
was the site of a deadly suicide bomb attack this month that escalated
tensions."
Comment: While many people remain distracted by domestic news some very important and dangerous events are taking place in South Asia. When two nuclear powers start shooting down warplanes we should take notice. This is a situation that could easily escalate.
