Nuclear Powers On The Brink Of War: India Launches Attacks On Terror Targets In Pakistan

Both lay claim to the Himalayan territory that divides them, and the latest events have again brought the two countries to the brink of war. It's not quite an all-out war, yet.

Pakistan has called those actions an act of war. (…)
