Pakistan and India have hinted at de-escalating their current conflict after firing missiles at each. Tensions between the nuclear-armed rivals have soared since an attack at a popular tourist site in India-controlled Kashmir left 26 civilians dead,

India said it was committed to not escalating hostilities if Pakistan reciprocates after the two countries fired volleys of missiles across their borders. It was the most serious increase in hostilities so far in a conflict triggered by a gun massacre last month that India blames Pakistan for.

Pakistan accused India of launching air-to-surface missiles that targeted at least three bases. Soon after, Pakistani officials said retaliatory action against Indian bases had begun.
