“Every act of aggression will meet with a definite answer. India will suffer full responsibility for any serious consequences of activities in this region,” the minister wrote on platform X. As the Reuters agency reported, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and India's defense did not respond to requests for comment.
Similar news regarding the fact that the India invasion is “inevitable”, said on Monday the defense minister of Pakistan Khawaj Muhammad Asif. A few hours later, the politician withdrew from this statement, explaining that it was not a categorical forecast.
The escalation of tensions between neighboring countries took place after a terrorist attack, which occurred on April 22 near the city of Pahalgam. 26 men were killed and 17 were injured.
India accused Pakistan of responsibility for this act of terror, which they described as “the most deadly attack on civilians in the region since 2000”. Pakistan immediately rejected these accusations, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif found them “unfounded” and demanded a “neutral investigation.”
The Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi promised to prosecute “terrorists” and their partners “until the end of the world”.
Attack in Kashmir. The UN Security Council appeals to both countries
After the attack in Kashmir, India identified as Pakistanis two fighters suspected of committing a crime. Islamabad denied that he would play any role in the assassination and called for a neutral investigation. Since then, on the demarcation line between the two countries in the disputed region, Kashmir is constantly exchanging fire.
The UN Security Council appealed to both countries with “maximum restraint”. China's authorities presented a similar position. Saudi Arabia announced that it is taking “actions to avoid escalation” and Iran proposed mediation.
Kashmir, inhabited mainly by Muslims, belongs partly to India and partly to Pakistan, but both countries are claiming to the whole region. An anti -infitic rebellion has been going on in Indian Kashmir since 1989, which has already cost the lives of tens of thousands of people. Pakistan accuses her of supporting India.
