Pakistan said it would fight back at the chosen time and place, and military spokesmen even hinted at the use of nuclear weapons. Since this month's suicide bombing in Kashmir, hostile rhetoric between India and Pakistan has been escalating.
The spokesman said that Pakistan's command and control body in charge of the use of nuclear weapons held a meeting on Wednesday. "You all know what that means," the spokesman added.
Indian air strikes were carried out near Barakot, a town 50 kilometers from the border between the two countries, the worst cross-border attack in India since the last Indian-Pakistani war in 1971. But there are contradictions between the two countries'officials' statements about casualties and damage. India and Pakistan have fought three wars in the past.
The Indian government says the air strikes hit a training camp for Pakistan's militant group Mohammed Army. The militant group previously claimed responsibility for a suicide car bomb attack in Kashmir on February 14, in which at least 40 Indian military and police officers were killed. The Indian government will hold general elections in the coming months.
Vijay Gokhale, India's State Secretary for foreign affairs, said that "a large number" of militants were killed in the air raid in northeastern Pakistan.
