New York Times: India Claims ‘Surgical Strikes’ Across Line of Control in Kashmir
NEW DELHI — India announced on Thursday that it had carried out early morning “surgical strikes” on terrorist camps in Pakistani-controlled Kashmir, a step that risks escalating the conflict between the two nuclear powers.
However, Pakistan denied that a cross-border strike had taken place, saying that Indian troops had fired small arms across the Line of Control, killing two soldiers and injuring nine.
A senior Pakistani security official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly, said that Pakistan would consider a cross-border strike by India an act of war.
The official warned that Pakistan could use tactical nuclear weapons in self-defense if India initiates a war.

Sounds to me that india called pakistans bluff and pakistan is looking for a way out and de escalation.
Probably not yet. Pakistan will probably bump up their cross border raids for a bit, India will strike back.
Pakistan is well known for taking it to the edge before standing down.
The ISI runs the Kashmir Jihadi's, but the Pakistan Army get's the "backlash" from the ISI's actions, not the ISI.
The army needs to purge the ISI with long knives.
they can't,
The CIA gave 'em stab proof vests
