Airlines re-route, cancel flights due to India-Pakistan fighting

Airlines including United Airlines and Korean Air re-routed or cancelled flights and about a dozen Indian airports were shut on Wednesday after India struck nine sites in Pakistan, raising fears of an escalation.

India attacked Pakistani Kashmir and Pakistan said it had shot down five Indian fighter jets in the flare-up, which followed an attack by Islamist militants that killed 26 people in Indian Kashmir last month. India said it hit "terrorist infrastructure" related to the tourist killings. Pakistan rejects that it has such camps on its territory.
