India and Pakistan trade fire and accusations as fears of a wider military confrontation rise

Pakistan said Indian drones killed two civilians and wounded four soldiers, as India accused its neighbor of attempting its own attack. India acknowledged Thursday that it targeted Pakistan's air defense system, and Islamabad said it shot down several drones. India said it "neutralized" Pakistan's attempts to hit military targets. It was not possible to verify all of the claims. The exchanges came a day after Pakistani officials said Indian missiles killed 31 civilians. New Delhi said it was retaliating after gunmen killed 26 people, mostly Hindu tourists, in India-controlled Kashmir last month.
