Does anyone know how often these clashes occur?

Not sure how often it happens, but it's not the first report I can remember seeing about them.

Interestingly, I've seen more about Sino-Indian shootouts than Indo-Pak shootouts.  Perhaps the latter are cognizant of escalations?

Yeah, totally makes sense to start World War III over that godforsaken patch of desolation.

I can't wait for the media to contort themselves into pretzels trying to blame this on Trump. As long as it's just a 'tussle' level conflict with sticks and stones, I don't think we have a lot to worry about.

So I did read that right? They used sticks and stones? Hahahahaha.
