Yes, but that would be a regional, not global conflict. There are already tensions over it and plenty of other tensions between India and Pakistan. the comment I replied to claimed it would cause a "huge global conflict" - i.e. world war. Serious as a war between India and Pakistan would be I would not characterise it in the same way as, say, an all out war between the US and China.

A war between two nuclear powers has never happened before and the results would likely be calamitous, unleashing a huge global catastrophe and unquantifiable additional conflict as food, health and energy systems fail. I am not just some random internet person making this up.
