00:00But do you think the latest attacks, like you've said, which include drones and other activity, does signal a dangerous escalation between the two nations?
00:11Indeed it is, because when these drones are sent to the other side, in most cases, the purpose is to find out how the other side's missiles and other aircraft are maneuvering.
00:24These drones are meant for surveillance, but they want to figure out what is the movement of military forces on the ground.
00:32So they are collecting a lot of intelligence and data.
00:35In normal circumstances, they don't send drones because that is seen as a violation.
00:39The other side would shot it down.
00:41But at this moment, for all practical purposes, both the countries are at war.
00:46India went deep into Pakistan.
00:48Previously, they used to attack or get into a kind of a conflict situation in Kashmir only.
00:54Kashmir is divided into three parts.
00:57India controlled Kashmir, Pakistan controlled Kashmir, and China also as a part.
01:01This is a disputed land under the international law.
01:04There are some UN offices there as well.
01:06But in this case, India opted to target some of the locations deep into Pakistan's Punjab, in Bhopalpur, in Sialkot, close to Lahore.
01:16So that was seen as a full-fledged war, and Pakistan most probably are there under severe public pressure to respond to this.
