Pakistan is tightening security measures in response to the potential military reaction from India following a recent terrorist attack in Kashmir, The New York Times reports.
A senior Pakistani security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, stated that Pakistan will "approach any tit-for-tat escalation carefully" but will take action to prevent any Indian invasion if it occurs.
At present, Pakistani security officials have reported no unusual activity from the Indian military.
