Firstpost Editor's Picks: India must remain on guard after IAF airstrikes; border residents appeal for peace; today's must-read stories

Firstpost  

Tonight, it’s more than likely that many Pakistani commanders will have texts on the Ussuri river clashes for their bedside reading. India’s own strategic planners need to pay close attention to what Pakistan’s generals are thinking, to anticipate, and pre-empt the consequences. And in order to scale up the costs on Pakistan for its use of radical and separatist elements as cannon fodder for its proxy war, India may even go deep inside Pakistani territory to operate, if needed. IAF strikes JeM camp: Jammu and Kashmir border residents appeal for peace, say war no solution to India-Pakistan conflict Along the border areas in Jammu region, the residents have been witness to heavy cross-border artillery shelling for the last few days. Riyaz Ahmad, 45, another resident of Balakote, says border residents may have to face a tough time if “situation between India and Pakistan deteriorates”.
