Canada's South Asian community is on edge after conflict erupted between India and Pakistan in the form of missile strikes that killed 31 people in Pakistani-administered areas.
India struck multiple sites inside Pakistani controlled territory, as Pakistan says it downed several Indian military planes, the latest salvo in a conflict that is not new.
Images from flight tracking websites showed a long line of airlines passing over Oman, UAE and Kuwait after the attack, raising the possibility of airspace congestion.
Pakistan said it reserved the right to respond, raising the spectre that the back-and-forth could spiral into all-out conflict between the nuclear-armed rivals.
India said it struck infrastructure used by militants linked to last month's massacre of tourists in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir.
Les deux puissances nucléaires sont engagées dans leur confrontation militaire la plus grave depuis deux décennies.
Tensions have soared since an April attack in which gunmen killed 26 people in India-controlled Kashmir, in some cases killing men before their wives' eyes
