India has launched a military operation against objectives identified as “terrorist” in Pakistani territory. The attack, called Sindoor operationfocused in six locations between the Kashmir Pakistano and the Punjab. According to the new Delhi authorities, the raids aimed to destroy infrastructures related to armed groups involved in recent attacks. According to the spokesman for the Pakistani army, Ahmed Chaudhry, the most devastating attack concerned a mosque in Bahawalpur, where 13 people, including two three -year -old girls, lost their lives.
An immediate response: Pakistan’s counter -offensive
Following attacks, Pakistan replied by breaking down Indian military drones and military planes. The Pakistani information minister, Attullah Tarar, said that Islamabad was ready to react and that India received “a strong response”. On the other hand, Nuova Delhi described operations as “measured” and said he had only affected places used for terrorist activities, remaining in Indian airspace. In the meantime, violent clashes with heavy artillery strokes have been reported along the control line, further increasing tensions.
The budget of the victims is heavy on both fronts. In Pakistan there are at least 41 deaths and 46 injured, while in Indian Kashmir 8 civilians were killed, with 29 other injured people. The situation caused a paralysis in transport: Air India has suspended national and international flights, while companies like Qatar Airways have avoided the Pakistani airspace. Hospitals and rescue are in a state of maximum alert, with schools and universities closed in different areas of the two nations.
Reactions of the international community
Many governments have expressed concern for escalation. The UN Secretary General, António Guterreshas launched an appeal for moderation, declaring that “the world cannot afford a military clash” between India and Pakistan, given their nuclear arsenals. The United States, through the Secretary of State Marco Rubio, asked the two countries to keep the communication lines open. China and France also invited both nations to avoid further war actions and protect the civilians involved.
The American president Donald Trum instead defined as “shame” the military operation of India: “We have just known -said the US president -I imagine that people knew that something could happen, based on the past, India And Pakistan They fought for a long time, you know, they fought for many, many decades and centuries. I just hope it ends very soon. “
A long story of conflicts
This recent clash is part of a ten -year rivalry that has seen India and Pakistan face itself several times in the contesting region of Kashmir. The current tension increased drastically after the terrorist attack on April 22 in Pahalgam, where 27 civilians died. New Delhi accuses Pakistan of supporting the responsible groups, while Islamabad denies any involvement. The relationships between the two countries are historically marked by uncertainties and conflicts, fueling a climate of perennial instability in the region.
Strengthened safety measures
Among the areas most affected by the escalation there are Kashmir and Punjab, where the governments of both countries have closed numerous airports and intensified the security measures. In Srinagar, a city located in Kashmir administered by India, schools and universities have been closed to prevent further accidents. While governments continue to take prevention measures, the population remains trapped between fear and uncertainties.
