India and Pakistan appear on the brink of another war after the killing of Hindu tourists in in the contested Kashmir region in the north. India has blamed the attack on its largely Muslim neighbor and has suspended a crucial river water sharing arrangement on which Pakistan depends. Both countries control parts of Kashmir and claim all of it.
The Indian navy released an aerial photo of an aircraft carrier and at least three escorts on its Instagram page on Thursday. The features in the foreground make clear that the vessels are headed up the coast in a northwesterly direction and in the direction of Pakistan.
The vessels are shown in the Arabian Sea in the area of the historical Sindhudurg Fort south of Mumbai.
