Pakistan says India is planning to attack imminently in response to a deadly terrorist attack that Delhi blames on its nuclear armed neighbor.

India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi is telling the Indian armed forces it has complete freedom of action to respond to any threats following a terrorist attack in the contested Kashmir region.

India and Pakistan exchanged small arms fire along the contested Kashmir border for a fourth straight night even as New Delhi ramped up a security crackdown in the Himalayan region following a militant attack that left 26 people dead.
