The surge in tensions between India and Pakistan sparked by a deadly shooting in Indian-administered Kashmir last week has not so far sounded the global alarm it merits. The killing of 25 tourists and a resident in the disputed region was the worst terrorist attack on civilians in India since the 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed 166. New Delhi has linked the violence to Pakistan; Islamabad has denied any connection. The nuclear-armed neighbours are in a dangerous stand-off. India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, has given his army “operational freedom” to respond. Pakistan’s government claimed on Wednesday to have credible intelligence of an imminent Indian military strike.
印控克什米尔地区最近发生致命枪击事件，引发印度与巴基斯坦之间紧张升级，但这起事件迄今没有引起国际社会应有的警觉。在这一有争议的地区发生杀害25名游客和1名居民的恶性事件，是自2008年孟买遭遇恐袭、造成166人丧生以来印度境内发生的针对平民的最严重恐怖袭击。新德里方面将这起暴力事件与巴基斯坦联系起来；伊斯兰堡方面则否认自己有任何关联。这两个拥有核武的邻国正处于一场危险的对峙。印度总理纳伦德拉•莫迪(Narendra Modi)已赋予其军队“行动自由”以做出回应。巴基斯坦政府上周三声称其掌握有关印度即将发动军事打击的可靠情报。
