00:00During the day, the town of Chakotty seems peaceful.
00:05But war is on everyone's minds.
00:08This part of Kashmir, controlled by Pakistan,
00:11is three kilometers away from the de facto border with India.
00:15Authorities have asked people to stock up on food
00:18in case the nighttime gunfire exchanges escalate further.
00:24We are with Pakistan.
00:26We are not going anywhere.
00:30We will stay here. We just need some shelter.
00:33Our children are here, and we need shelter to protect the children.
00:40We will not take the initiative to fight.
00:43If they take the initiative, they will get such a response
00:46that every child will be sacrificed.
00:48But we will not allow any harm to come to the land of Pakistan, God willing.
00:54Gunfire exchanges started after an attack on civilians
00:57in the Indian-administrated Kashmir that killed 26 people.
01:03New Delhi has accused Islamabad of being responsible,
01:07which Pakistan's leaders deny.
01:10While countries and international institutions
01:13have called to de-escalate and resolve the issue through talks,
01:17within India, there have been calls to respond to the killings
01:21by attacking Pakistani targets.
01:23We live under constant shelling, so we feel that if it happens now,
01:30maybe we'll get to live peacefully for the next 10 to 20 years.
01:34India and Pakistan have shown they're preparing for all options.
01:42India's prime minister has given the army full operational freedom to strike,
01:47while Pakistan shared images of its army training to fire 450-kilometer-range missiles,
01:55saying it is ready to retaliate in case of an Indian attack.
