On this week's Wildcard podcast,
Weird Al Yankovic says there's something funny about being professionally weird.
I think people realize, you know,
Weird Al is almost ironic because I'm like one of the more normal people in showbiz, I think.
I'm Rachel Martin.
Weird Al is on Wildcard, the show where cards control the conversation.
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman.
There's been a sharp escalation of violence between India and Pakistan.
India says it has attacked multiple sites in Pakistan.
India says that's in retaliation for a militant attack in late April in the Indian-controlled part of Kashmir province.
More than two dozen civilians were killed at that time.
Pakistan has now retaliated, claiming it fired on Indian military jets.
NPR's Amkar Kandekar reports the violence is between two nuclear-armed powers that have long been hostile toward each other.
India blames Pakistan for the attack that killed 26 people,
saying the gunmen were a proxy for the Pakistani military.
Pakistan denies the claims.
In a press briefing,
Indian military officers aired grainy videos of projectiles striking several locations,
which the army claimed were training camps for, quote, terror groups.
Pakistani authorities said India largely struck mosques.
