India said early on Wednesday that it had hit Pakistan, two weeks after more than twenty civilians were killed in a terrorist attack in Kashmir by the Indian.
The Indian government said that its forces hit nine locations in Pakistan and on the side of Pakistan from the disputed Kashmir area. Pakistani military officials said at least eight people were killed and 35 others were wounded after six places in Punjab and its part of Kashmir.
It has been reported that at least two planes had fallen in India and the sides of the Indian from Kashmir. But Pakistan’s demands that they had shot down Indian planes, including some of its latest combat aircraft, are still unconfirmed.
While India struck in recent years as Kashmir, which is run by Pakistan and the areas near it during the increasing periods of tensions, the attack on Punjab on Punjab, in Pakistani territory outside the disputed region, represents an escalation in the conflict between the two nuclear countries.
After the attacks, India was preparing to respond from Pakistan and its neighbor and its enemy for more than seven decades. The two countries have fought many wars, the most recent in 1999, and headed to the brink of the abyss more than once since. Since the tensions have been sharpened again, global leaders have warned of severe consequences if the two sides fail to cancel the escalation.
India said on Wednesday that it struck Pakistan after collecting evidence “indicating a clear involvement of terrorists in Pakistan” in an attack last month on civilians in a tourist area in Kashmir. She said that her military actions were “measured and responsible and designed to be non -educational in nature.” He added that she only targeted “well -known terrorist camps.”
In its special statement on Wednesday, the Pakistani government described the Indian strikes as “an unjustified and strict war” which “violated Pakistan.”
Pakistan said it would respond in “time and place to choose.” Pakistani military officials said they started a response, “it is a strong but strong.”
Indian officials and news channels said that at least one plane crashed on the Indian side of Kashmir. It was reported that a second plane had decreased in the Indian Punjab state, according to L. Indian news reports And the witnesses of witnesses.
Analysis of witnesses of witnesses from the site of one wreck, in the village of Wuyan in Kashmir, which is run by India, the weapons researcher identified the debris as an external fuel tank of a plane. The analyst, Trevor Ball, of Armament Research Services, said that the tank was likely to be from the Rafale or Mirage Fighter, both of which are made by the French manufacturer Dassault Aviation and used by India. Mr. Paul could not confirm whether the tank came from a plane that was hit by the enemy’s fire.
Pakistani military officials, without providing evidence, claimed that their forces have dropped many Indian aircraft, including Rafale Gates, which are among the latest and most advanced in the Indian Air Force.
Indian officials and residents of URI and Poonch regions, on the side controlled by the Indians of Kashmir, said that the Pakistani bombing has been killed since the cross -border strikes were killed at least three people, wounded at least 10 houses.
Manoj Sinha, the ruler inherent in the Indian Kashmir region, said he had ordered the transfer of villagers to safer sites.
At the White House, President Trump described the escalation between India and Pakistan “shame.”
He said about the Indian strikes: “We have just heard about it.” “They were fighting for a long time. I just hope it would end very quickly.” Soon after the strikes, the Indian National Security Adviser, Ajit Duval, Foreign Minister Marco Rubio, briefed on the military actions, according to Indian officials.
A spokesman for the Secretary -General of the United Nations, António Guterres, called for restraint from both sides, adding, “The world cannot afford a military confrontation between India and Pakistan.”
But it is likely that the size and nature of the attacks by India launched “great revenge” by Pakistan.
After attacks against the Indian security forces in Kashmir, which is run by Indian in 2016 and 2019, India has made more limited strikes in the Pakistani -controlled lands. But this time, “India has crossed two important thresholds in its military action” by hitting a large number of sites in Pakistan and hitting a Pakistani Hartl in Punjab, Mr. Mir said.
With India’s readiness for possible revenge by Pakistan, military officials said that all air defense units in the country along the border were activated, according to the public broadcaster of India. Airlines said that many airports, including the airport in Srinagar, the capital of the Indian side in Kashmir, were closed to civil travel.
The exact nature of Wednesday’s strikes – whether it included missiles fired from India or Indian fighter planes crossing to Pakistan – was unclear. The Pakistani army said that the Indian aircraft did not enter into the airspace of Pakistan in the attacks.
The residents of Muzaffar Abad, the capital of the Pakistani part of Kashmir, reported hearing aircraft flying over it. They said that a location in a rural area near Muzaffar Abad was used by Lashkar-E-Taiba, a militant group in Pakistan, which seemed to be targeted in strikes.
A Pakistani army spokesman said five other places were attacked.
Among them is Bahwalbour, in Punjab County, Pakistan, a religious school site linked to an army-Modd, another group of militants in Pakistan; Kotli and Bagh in Kashmir run by Pakistan; Shakarbar and Moridic in Punjab. It is believed that Lashkar-E-TAIBA has a presence in Muridke
The Indian forces invite their military operation, Sindor, in reference to the red insects worn by Hindu women in their hair after marriage. It refers to the heinous nature of the terrorist attack two weeks ago, as many wives saw that their husbands were killed in front of them.
Rajnath Singh, Indian Defense Minister, wrote on X. “Victory to Mother India”.
In the April 22 attack, the gunmen opened fire on tourists in the Indian Kashmir area, killing 26 and wounding more than ten others.
The massacre was one of the worst attacks on Indian civilians for decades, and India was quick to point out that Pakistan, its neighbor and its fatwa, participated. The two countries have fought many wars on Kashmir, a region they share, but all claims are completely.
The Pakistani government denied its involvement in the attack, and India provided a little evidence to support its accusations. However, shortly after the attack, India announced a wave of punitive measures against Pakistan, including the threat to disrupt the flow of the main river system that provides it with water.
In Kashmir, the Indian forces began as comprehensive stations, arrested hundreds, as they continued to search for the perpetrators. India and Pakistan repeatedly exchanged small weapons fire along the border in the days after the attack.
The strikes made by India on Wednesday are the intensification of the conflict. The Pakistani government has previously pledged to respond to any kind of Indian aggression, and both countries have the ability to cause tremendous damage.
India has long accused Pakistan violently separation in Kashmir, a picturesque valley and an ethnic variety in the Himalayas. He left the fate of Kashmir who was not decided in 1947, when the British divided India, its former colony, into two countries – Pakistan, which has an Islamic majority, and India, mostly consisting of Hindus.
Soon after, the Hindu King of Kashmir, who initially chose to keep the Muslim majority area independently, was waived to India where Pakistan sent a military force to occupy parts of his lands. Currently, both countries run part of Kashmir while claiming it as a whole, with a little Kashmiri.
Since the war between the two countries in the region in 1999 and a rise in separatist rebellion, Kashmir has been one of the most military areas in the world. Countries have repeatedly reached the edge of the war, including in 2019, when a bombing in Kashmir has killed at least 40 Indian soldiers.
This shelling, which was called by the Islamic Armed Group, was called by the Islamic Armed Group. Tensions between countries eased when Pakistan launched the pilot.
