As world powers face multiple crises, the one set off by a terror attack in Kashmir is getting scant attention, and little help de-escalating between two nuclear-armed neighbors.

The risk of exposing a military still being modernized may constrain Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he weighs retaliation for a terrorist attack.

After a militant attack in Kashmir, the Indian government said it was suspending its participation in a treaty that governs most of the water used in Pakistani agriculture.

A terrorist attack in the disputed territory in 2019 brought India and Pakistan to the verge of war. There are fears Tuesday’s violence could do the same.

India had claimed in recent years that its heavy-handed approach had brought peace to the long restive region. The attack on Tuesday showed that wasn’t true.
