“Shocked”

CNN source said India and Pakistan were nearing a deal Friday, but Islamabad was blindsided when India struck three Pakistani air bases early Saturday.

Believing diplomacy was close, Pakistan responded with a larger salvo on Indian bases and Kashmir targets, calling it “an eye for an eye.”

The source said that New Delhi had been shocked by the scale of Pakistan’s response, and that both sides then “got serious” about engaging in peace talks later Saturday.

US assurances kept talks going, the source said.
