This worries world leaders. The South Asian neighbors have fought several wars and each has nuclear weapons.
这让全球领导人感到担忧。这对南亚邻国历经数战，并且各自都拥有核武器。
The two countries had better relations a year ago. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi surprised many observers when he went to the wedding of the granddaughter of Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif last December. Many hoped the visit would improve relations that had been tense for months.
这两国在一年前还有着很好的关系。印度总理莫迪去年12月前去参加了巴基斯坦总理谢里夫孙女的婚礼，这让很多观察员感动惊讶。许多人希望这次访问能够改善已经持续数月的紧张关系。
But in January, Kashmiri militants attacked an Indian air base in Pathankot, 50 kilometers from the Pakistani border. The attack damaged relations between Pakistan and India.

In July, Indian troops shot and killed Burhan Wani, a young Kashmiri separatist leader. People protested his killing for months. Indian troops and protesters fought. Many people, including security forces, died.

Pakistan strongly supports those who are fighting for Kashmiri independence from India. Pakistani leaders worked in international meetings to bring attention to reported human rights violations in the area. The Modi administration then protested reported human rights violations by Pakistani security forces in Baluchistan province. Indian leaders had never done that before. Tensions worsened further.
巴基斯坦强烈支持为从印度独立出来而战的克什米尔人。巴基斯坦领导人在国际会议上提请人们关注该地区报告的侵犯人权的行为。莫迪政府随后抗议据报道的巴基斯坦安全部队在俾路支省侵犯人权的事件。印度领导人从未如此干过。紧张局势进一步恶化。
In September, four gunmen attacked an Indian military base in Uri, in Kashmir. Eighteen Indian soldiers were killed. India blamed the attack on militant groups based in Pakistan.

The same week, Sharif strongly criticized India in a speech to the United Nations General Assembly.

"This indigenous uprising of the Kashmiris had been met, as usual, with brutal repression by India's occupation force of over half a million soldiers."
他说，“克什米尔人的本土起义像往常一样遭到了有着50多万士兵的印度占领军的残酷镇压。”
India reacted sharply to the speech. Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj suggested that Pakistan is a supporter and exporter of terrorism.
印度对此演讲作出了激烈反应。印度外交部长斯瓦拉杰(Sushma Swaraj)暗示，巴基斯坦是恐怖主义的支持者和输出国。
Soon, India said it had carried out attacks against militants on the Pakistani side of the Kashmiri border. Pakistan rejected the claim. But it warned that it would consider any such attacks acts of war.
印度不久后表示，它对克什米尔边境巴基斯坦一侧的武装分子发动了攻击。巴基斯坦否认了这一说法。但是它警告说，巴基斯坦会把这类攻击视为战争行为。
Continued fighting along the so-called Line of Control has killed many people, most of them civilians. The line is unofficially considered the border in Kashmir.
沿着所谓的控制线不断发生的战斗导致很多人死亡，其中多数是平民。这条线被非正式认定为克什米尔的边界。
Pakistan's army trained near the Indian border. Then, India persuaded some countries not to attend a meeting of nations planned for Islamabad. Pakistan was forced to cancel the meeting.
巴基斯坦军队在靠近印度边境附近训练。然后，印度说服了一些国家不参加原计划在伊斯兰堡举行的一场联合国会议。巴基斯坦被迫取消了会议。
The two countries continue to attack one another, but many observers hope relations will improve in 2017.
这两国还在继续互相攻击，但是很多观察人士都希望两国关系在2017年有所改善。
