India says its strikes into Pakistan-administered Kashmir and Pakistan on Wednesday killed more than 100 militants.

A tense silence settled over India and Pakistan as millions woke Thursday: no more missiles had been fired, schools in most areas had reopened and both sides appeared to be claiming victory.

Pakistan will have to get rid of its "terrorist infrastructure" if it wants to be "saved", Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday, his first comments on the military clashes with Pakistan since last week's deadly fighting between the two countries.

New developments in the nuclear powers’ harrowing four-day conflict, along with entrenched religious nationalism on each side, could signal more frequent battles ahead.

India’s missile and bomb strikes on targets in Pakistan and Pakistani-controlled Kashmir have prompted multiple attacks in retaliation between the nuclear-armed neighbors to the point that some are now calling it a de facto war.

The recent military escalation with arch-rival India won't have a large fiscal impact on Pakistan and can be managed within the current fiscal space, with no need for a new economic assessment, Pakistan's Finance Minister said in an interview with Reuters on Monday.

Pakistan’s military listed two dozen Indian military installations and bases that it said its forces had targeted. While Indian officials have acknowledged “limited damage” at four air bases, they have offered few details.

The ceasefire had been expected to bring a swift end to weeks of escalating clashes triggered by the mass shooting of tourists last month that India blames on Pakistan.
