After three consecutive days of reports of mutual gunfire<\/a> at army outposts along the Line of Control (LOC) disputed border area, Pakistan’s defense minister declared Monday that a military incursion by India is imminent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have reinforced our forces<\/strong> because it is something which is imminent <\/strong>now. So in that situation some strategic decisions have to be taken<\/strong>, so those decisions have been taken,” Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif told Reuters<\/em><\/a> from Islamabad. This confirms Pakistani Army build-up along the border.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A severe war of words has been on since last Tuesday’s deadly militant attack on tourists in Kashmir, which saw 26 Indian tourists get executed after the gunmen sought to identify Hindus among the group. The Indian government promptly accused Pakistan of harboring the Islamist terrorists which committed the atrocity<\/strong>, which Islamabad angrily rejected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nuclear-armed neighbors have already fought two historic wars over the Kashmir region, and fears are rising that another one may soon be on the horizon – also after both sides have sent military reinforcements to the respective regions they administer. Amid a massive manhunt, India identified two detained suspected militants as Pakistani<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Asif said India’s rhetoric was ramping up and that Pakistan’s military had briefed the government on the possibility of an Indian attack<\/strong>,” Reuters continues of the defense chief’s statements. “He did not go into further details on his reasons for thinking an incursion was imminent.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And very alarmingly, the question of use of nuclear weapons was broached in the interview<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Asif said Pakistan was on high alert<\/strong> and that it would only use its arsenal of nuclear weapons if “there is a direct threat to our existence”<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Indian army over the weekend announced<\/a> there has been “unprovoked” firing “initiated by Pakistan”<\/strong> along the Line of Control (LOC) which divides Kashmir into two. Pakistan in the aftermath of the accusation neither confirmed nor denied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New York Times<\/em> described<\/a> Saturday that “Pakistani solders fired at an Indian position first and India responded in kind<\/strong>, according to local news reports, which said that “the exchange was brief and that there were no casualties<\/strong>.” Precise locations of these live fire incidents have not been disclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon after the crisis land borders were been shut, visas and military exchange programs mutually canceled, and a landmark water treaty was suspended. Pakistan blasted India’s cancelation of the Indus Water Treaty as an “act of war”<\/strong> and warned it would respond accordingly if water flows are violated among the two rivals’ shared rivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unverified videos like the below have been widely circulating online:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if gunfire continues to be exchanged between the two militaries, also amid reports that Pakistani visa holders are being promptly booted from the country amid the diplomatic crisis – clashes could accelerate toward open war. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

India’s Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah has meanwhile said there must be a “decisive fight against terrorism and its origin.” Indian officials have continued to heap accusations that ultimately Islamabad either supports these groups or at least turns a blind eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air Force and army activity along the border ramping up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
