Looks like Twitter's heating up between India and Pakistan right now (no surprise there). Traffic numbers pretty even: neither side dominating. Not huge traffic, but expect pickup.

Less traffic on #PakistanAirForceOurPride. 49k results from 41k users. Again, not a wildly inorganic ratio.
Further back again, there's #PakFakeClaim, with just over 31k posts from 25k users.
The top driver of this was @DrGPradhan, whose bio references "Comments w/o Prejudice", and posts about "PAK pigs".
The second most-retweeted post was from @TimesNow.

Upsum: the numbers on this traffic look broadly organic.
High-profile posters driving the content. Polemic content on both sides taking off, but the numbers are still relatively modest. Tens of thousands of mentions, not 100s.
Early hours of a crisis. Watch for sudden spikes.
