Skirmishes across the heavily militarized line of control, which separates Indian-controlled Kashmir from Pakistani Kashmir, have continued this week with casualties reported on both sides. But while the spat hasn't boiled over into an all-out armed conflict between the two nuclear armed powers, that remains a distinct and unsettling possibility.
In the latest headlines emanating from the border, Pakistan claimed on Tuesday that it had intercepted an Indian submarine attempting to cross into Pakistani-controlled waters, according to RT.
"The Pakistan Navy used its specialised skills to ward off the submarine, successfully keeping it from entering Pakistani waters," a Pakistani spokesman said."The Indian submarine was not targeted keeping in view Pakistan's policy of peace."
It added that it didn't engage the submarine, and followed this up by releasing a video of the submarine, which shows the mast of the vessel poking above the water.
