India-Pakistan crisis: What we know so far

Al Jazeera  

A look at the events, reactions and expectations as nuclear-armed South Asian neighbours come to the brink of war. India and Pakistan have carried out air raids inside each other’s countries for the first time since the 1971 war, raising fears of a major military escalation between the two nuclear-armed nations. US President Donald Trump said on Thursday there would be some “reasonably decent news” on the ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan, a day after the two nuclear powers downed each other’s jets. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement he had spoken separately with the foreign ministers of India and Pakistan and urged them to “prioritise direct communication and avoid further military activity”. On Thursday, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi told Geo News that Prime Minister Imran Khan was ready to speak with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi via telephone “and is ready to offer peace”.
