so no

this time though the prime minister of india has an election and his platform as far as i can tell is "gently caress muslims, make money"

i guess nuclear war would be bad for the making money part of that

Some heavy diplomatic work by State and millions of dollars worth of bribes went into keeping that from going full-nuclear.

I would suggest taking any Pakistani releases with a huge grain of salt. The government has self-interest in downplaying this as hard as they can (namely to avoid looking weak and also to avoid inflaming public pressure for retaliation and escalation), and the language being used is highly reminiscent of the usual "nothing at all happened but we totally kicked rear end" that dictatorships tend to do when they get attacked (example: Syria every time the IDF bombs them).

I'm sure the Pakistanis are weighing a retaliation but they have to find a target that's relatively deep in India which they can hit but not cause too many deaths. And they have to get in and out without any of their guys getting smoked. A really tall order.

Statement by Foreign Secretary on 26 February 2019 on the Strike on JeM training camp at Balakot

February 26, 2019

On 14 February 2019, a suicide terror attack was conducted by a Pak based terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammad, leading to the martyrdom of 40 brave jawans of the CRPF. JeM has been active in Pakistan for the last two decades, and is led by MASOOD AZHAR with its headquarters in Bahawalpur.

This organization, which is proscribed by the UN, has been responsible of a series of terrorist attacks including on the Indian Parliament in December 2001 and the Pathankot airbase in January 2016.

Information regarding the location of training camps in Pakistan and PoK has been provided to Pakistan from time to time. Pakistan, however, denies their existence. The existence of such massive training facilities capable of training hundreds of jihadis could not have functioned without the knowledge of Pakistan authorities.

India has been repeatedly urging Pakistan to take action against the JeM to prevent jihadis from being trained and armed inside Pakistan. Pakistan has taken no concrete actions to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism on its soil.

Credible intelligence was received that JeM was attempting another suicide terror attack in various parts of the country, and the fidayeen jihadis were being trained for this purpose. In the face of imminent danger, a preemptive strike became absolutely necessary.

In an intelligence led operation in the early hours of today, India struck the biggest training camp of JeM in Balakot. In this operation, a very large number of JeM terrorists, trainers, senior commanders and groups of jihadis who were being trained for fidayeen action were eliminated. This facility at Balakot was headed by MAULANA YOUSUF AZHAR (alias USTAD GHOURI), the brother-in-law of MASOOD AZHAR, Chief of JeM.

The Government of India is firmly and resolutely committed to taking all necessary measures to fight the menace of terrorism. Hence this non-military preemptive action was specifically targeted at the JeM camp. The selection of the target was also conditioned by our desire to avoid civilian casualties. The facility is located in thick forest on a hilltop far away from any civilian presence. As the strike has taken place only a short while ago, we are awaiting further details.

The Government of Pakistan had made a solemn commitment in January 2004 not to allow its soil or territory under its control to be used for terrorism against India. We expect that Pakistan lives up to its public commitment and takes follow up actions to dismantle all JeM and other camps and hold the terrorists accountable for the actions.

Pretty sure that

1) India bombed something in Pakistan
2) Pakistan scrambled fighter jets and the Indian jets chose not to engage and escaped back to Indian air space

So both sides can claim victory and move on without further aggression.

Unless there is further provocation or one sides propaganda about this incident proves too potent this can end the whole thing. In this narrative Pakistan can allow India to be the aggressors because 40 Indian troops have already died so the Indians need to get something strong looking in response.
