Dozens dead as India and Pakistan clash

Front Burner

About this episode

Dozens have died this week as military tensions escalate between India and Pakistan over the disputed region of Kashmir. India fired missiles into Pakistan-controlled territory in what it says is retaliation for a militant attack on a tourist town in Indian territory in April.


The Kashmir region has long been the source of violent conflict between India and Pakistan. But there are concerns that this latest flare-up could lead to a much bigger conflict between the two nuclear powers.


Salimah Shivji, CBC's South Asia bureau chief, explains what's been happening this week and where it could go next.
