NEW DELHI (AP) — India has only “paused” its military action and will “retaliate on its own terms” if there is any future terror attack on the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Monday in his first public comments since a U.S.-brokered ceasefire over the weekend.

Tensions between Islamabad and New Dehli escalate after 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed in Kashmir last month.

Both sides deploy more troops along the frontier, turning it into a heavily fortified stretch of military outposts.
