UK Media:
Financial Times: “Recent clashes between India and Pakistan in 2016 and 2019 were limited to border areas, including Kashmir. But this time a more intense conflict was seen between the two countries. Both countries targeted each other’s air bases and drones were fired.”

The Daily Star: “This was the most fierce fighting between the two South Asian countries in the last three decades. There was a danger of it breaking out into a full-scale war.
