In the days since, tensions have risen dangerously between India and Pakistan, which have fought two of their three wars over Kashmir.

Relations between India and Pakistan are cratering following a deadly militant attack in Indian-administered Kashmir that has sparked tit-for-tat reprisals and raised fears of another military escalation between the nuclear-armed rivals.

India said its troops responded to firing from Pakistan military positions in the Jammu and Kashmir region for a second day on Saturday, as tensions remained escalated between the neighbors after a deadly attack on tourists this week.
