The Indian army reported that nine places attacked from Tuesday to Wednesday in Pakistan, where there was “terrorist infrastructure”, including “terrorist camps”, recruitment centers and rocket launchers. According to the Indian government, “no Pakistani military facility was attacked”, which testifies to “significant restraint”, and intelligence information shows that further attacks on India were prepared.
According to the Indian intelligence, the attacked mosque in Bahawalpura has connections with the jihadist group of Pakistani Rebels Lashkar-I-Toiba. Delhi accuses this group of on April 22 a terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam in Kashmir, as a result of which 26 people were killed.
The source in the Indian security services informed the AFP agency that three Indian army fighters crashed. A spokesman for Pakistani armed forces General Ahmed Sharif said Pakistan shot down five enemy aircraft in the Indian airspace after they were attacking in Pakistan.
