Episode Notes:

After the costly suicide attack in Kashmir last week, India on Tuesday responded by striking across the line of control (LOC), targeting a supposed Jaish-e-Mohammed camp. Rounds of reprisals between India and Pakistan have resulted in shooting down each other's warplanes. The situation is developing.

Tanvi Madan, Director of The India Project and Fellow at the Brookings Institution, joins the Warcast with updates to the tense situation.
