Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

India accused Pakistan of unprovoked heavy firing from across the border of Kashmir today. This, after Pakistan saidyesterday its military was on full alert and ready to retaliate following troop movements on the Indian side of theborder.

All of this has increased concerns about the dangers of a more substantial military stand-off between the two nuclearrivals.

It follows a visit to the region by Secretary of State Gen. Colin Powell that was supposed to decrease tension.
