With militaries upgraded, risks multiply in any potential India-Pakistan conflict

India and Pakistan have significantly enhanced their military capabilities since their heightened tensions in 2019, raising the risk of escalation even in a limited conflict. Pakistan claims India is preparing an incursion following New Delhi's accusation that Islamabad was responsible for a deadly attack on Indian Kashmir's tourists last month, with Prime Minister Modi pledging severe punishment for those involved. While Pakistan denies involvement in the attack, it has warned it will retaliate if targeted.
