In late February, tensions between India and Pakistan escalated over a suicide bombing in Kashmir that killed over 40 Indian paramilitary troops. After an Indian aircraft was shot down near the Line of Control that divides the Indian- and Pakistani-administered sides of Kashmir, both countries responded by sending troops, weapons, and equipment to their respective sides of the border. To get to the border on the Pakistani side, materiel had to pass through Pakistan’s densely populated, relatively wealthy Punjab province. Fortunately for open source investigations, Snapchat users who like to publicly document their lives are found in just these sorts of densely populated, wealthy regions.
