THE India-Pakistan conflict could “spiral” out of control, security experts behind the Defcon Warning System have warned, as they announced the threat level had risen to four.
The Defcon Warning System, a private organisation made up of experts monitoring nuclear threats against the US, said hostilities had “increased measurably” over the last few days between the historical enemies. They warned of an “escalation that has the possibility of spiralling” after India launched air strikes against militants in Pakistani territory. Pakistan officials said the airstrikes were carried out a day after Indian warplanes struck inside Pakistan.
