India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said his country has proved its military “superiority” in clashes with Pakistan that brought the nuclear-armed neighbours to the brink of war.
In a triumphant televised address on Monday that came as his first public comments since India launched air attacks on Pakistan last week, Modi also warned that New Delhi had “drawn a new line” for Islamabad and that it had “only suspended” its military operation.
India and Pakistan last week launched missiles, drones and artillery fire into each other’s territories, targeting military installations and areas far beyond their traditional theatre of battle in the contested region of Kashmir.
