Live Pakistan has launched “multiple attacks” on India / “major infiltration” / the conflict between the nuclear powers extends

Neither India nor Pakistan have yet announced any victims after clashes from Thursday night to Friday, writes Reuters. But dozens of people have died in the last days, in the new phase of conflict.

The Pakistani armed forces have launched “multiple attacks” using drones and other ammunition throughout the western border of India on Thursday night, the Indian army said, a sign that the war between nuclear armed neighbors has intensified.

The army also said that Pakistani troops have resorted to “numerous violations of the armistice” along the de facto border of the two countries in Kashmir, a region controlled by India, and by Pakistan, but claimed entirely by both.

“The drone attacks have been effectively rejected and an adequate response was given,” said India army, adding that all “bad plans” will be rejected with “force”.

There was no immediate response from Pakistan to the Indian statement.

Islamabad has previously denied the attack of Pathakot in the Indian state of Punjab, the city of Srinagar in the Kashmir Valley and Jaisalmer in Rajasthan, saying that the accusations were “unfounded” and “politically”.

“Major infiltration attempt”

A “major infiltration attempt” was “disappointed” in the Samba region of Kashmir on Thursday night, on Friday, the Indian border security force said, and the heavy artillery bombings persisted in the area, according to a security official who did not want to be called.

“Several houses caught fire and were damaged in the bombings in the sector. One woman was killed and another injured in overnight bombings,” the official said.

The mermaids rang more than two hours on Friday in the city of Amritsar, located on the border with India, which houses the Golden Temple revered by Sikhs, and the inhabitants were asked to stay in the house.

International call to calm the situation

The confrontation between the two enemies went to another level after India attacked several locations in Pakistan on Wednesday, which he said are “terrorist camps”, as reprisals for a terrorist attack in his Kashmir region last month, saying that Islamabad was involved.

Pakistan denied the accusation, but both countries have changed firefighters and cross-border bombings and sent drones and rockets to the mutual airspace since then.

The world powers, from the US to China, urged the two countries to calm tensions, and US Vice -President JD Vance on Thursday reiterated the call.

“We want this situation to relax as soon as possible. However, we cannot control these countries,” he said in an interview with Fox News.

A tense relationship

The relationship between India and Pakistan has been marked by tensions since obtaining independence from the United Kingdom in 1947, and the countries wore three wars, two of them for Kashmir, and collided in smaller times.

Both acquired nuclear weapons in the 1990s.

China urged both countries to act in the general interest of peace and stability, the spokesman of the Chinese Foreign Ministry declaring that Beijing is ready to collaborate with the international community “to avoid the actions that further complicate the situation”.

Russia and the US also urged withdrawal.

The current escalation comes at a precarious moment for the $ 350 billion economy of Pakistan, which still recovers after an economic crisis that brought it to the threshold of non-payment of external debt in 2023, before obtaining funding from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
