The mountainous region of Kashmir has been a source of conflict between the two countries since their independence from British colonial rule in 1947.
Tensions between nuclear rivals India and Pakistan flared up this week after both sides carried out tit-for-tat air strikes and shot down each other's fighter jets, prompting global concerns over a potential outbreak of war in South Asia. Pakistan said it also captured an Indian pilot who is set to be released on Friday as a gesture of peace towards New Delhi from Islamabad.
India's Ministry of External Affairs said Jaish-E-Mohammed and its leadership are located in Pakistan." cannot claim that it is unaware of their presence and their activities. They have not taken any action against these groups despite international demands," the official spokesperson said. Feb. 19: Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan offered India assistance to investigate the suicide bombing but he warned that his country will retaliate against any acts of aggression from New Delhi. India dismissed Khan's offer, citing previous terror attacks in Mumbai and an airbase.
Feb. 27: Pakistani media reported that Khan chaired a meeting of the National Command Authority, the body that oversees the country's nuclear warheads.
