Pakistani-Indian tensions unlikely to escalate into nuclear exchange: Defence Minister

Islamabad, Apr 27 (UNI) Last week's terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir is unlikely to escalate to an exchange of nuclear strikes between India and Pakistan, Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif told Sputnik.
On Friday, Asif told Sky News that the world should be concerned about tensions between the two countries that could escalate into a full-scale nuclear war.
"I do not think [that the conflict can escalate into a nuclear exchange]. India and Pakistan both are nuclear powers, but I do not think that things will go that far," the minister said.
