India and Pakistan have exchanged gunfire for a fourth night in a row in the wake of a deadly attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir last week.

Michael Kugelman, a Washington-based South Asia analyst and writer for the Foreign Policy magazine, said India is now a much closer U.S. partner than Pakistan.

The US has backed India without directly criticizing Pakistan, as President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance condemned the attack and affirmed solidarity.
