Nuclear Powers India and Pakistan on Brink of War


Jake Morphonios reported India and Pakistan, two enemies that are equipped with nuclear weapons, are deploying troops, tanks and military aircraft to the border region between the two countries in preparation for war. According to scientists, if India or Pakistan were to strike each other with nuclear missiles, within two weeks, the smoke from those bombs will have spread around the entire Earth, blanketing the sky and blocking out sunlight for years.

The conflict began when a Muslim terror organization group launched a bomb attack on Kashmir, killing 40 Indian paramilitary police, provoking retaliation from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. On February 26th, India sent fighter jets across the Kashmir ‘Line of Control’, to carry out attacks against a Muslim training camp about 40 miles inside of Pakistani territory.  Pakistan reported the bombs were detonated in a rural area and did not kill anyone, but claims that Indian forces on the Line of Control killed four civilians.  Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan responded by shooting down two of India’s fighter jets.  Khan has now called for negotiation instead of retaliation, yet both countries are preparing for full-scale war.
