Violent explosions were also heard earlier at night around Srinagar, the main city of the Indian back of Kashmir, AFP journalists reported.

China asked the two countries to “remain calm, show restrictions and avoid taking measures that would further complicate the situation.”
“Terrorist infrastructure”
The Indian army has announced that it would hold a press conference at 10 am local (6:30 am, French time). Two weeks after the attack that killed 26 people in Pahalgam, in the Indian part of the Kashmir, India put their threats. During the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, he took missiles in nine places that took refuge the “terrorist infrastructure” in Pakistan, which accuses of being responsible for the attack.
Islamabad has denied any participation in this attack, the most deadly aimed at civilians in cashmere for more than twenty years. One of the sites attacked during the night by the Indian army is the Subhan Mosque in Bahawalpur, in the Pendjab Pakistani, linked according to Indian intelligence with groups close to the jihadist movement of Lashkar-E-Taiba (Let).
India accuses this group, suspected of attacks that had killed 166 people in Bombay in 2008, having led Pahalgam’s attack. The cities of Kotli and Muzaffrabad, 120 and 130 km of the capital Islamabad, are among the objectives attacked by the Indian missiles, according to Pakistan.
In Muzaffrabad, the Police and the Army blocked all access to the Billal Mosque, attacked by an Indian strike. Several surrounding homes have also been affected and the population of the evacuated district, according to AFP journalists.
Pakistani Rimium
The Pakistani response was fast, in the form of artillery fire aimed at several points located in the Indian territory. The answer has begun and if God wants it, it will increase (…) will not take long to solve the problem, “threatened in an interview with AFP, the Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif.
The Pakistani National Security Committee, an agency only summoned for extreme situations, must meet on Wednesday morning. Around 200 Pakistani marched early Wednesday in the southern city of Hyderabad, burning Indian flags and portraits of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“The Pakistani military installation has not been attacked,” said the Indian government, believing that it shows “considerable moderation” to “avoid climbing.” “The irresponsible action of India brings the two nuclear states to an important conflict,” said Pakistani diplomacy.
Nueva Delhi is scheduled to receive Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who was in Islamabad on Wednesday by mediation on Wednesday. Just before the first attacks of his army, Narendra Modi had announced his intention to “cut the water” of the rivers that take their source in India and water Pakistan.
“The water that belongs to India has passed so far that it will now stop to serve the interests of India,” said Narendra Modi. The day after the attack, India had suspended her participation in an water exchange treaty signed in 1960 with her neighbor.
Pakistan had accused India on Tuesday of modifying the flow of the Chenab River, one of the three positions under his control according to the Treaty called Indo. This document gives New Delhi the right to use shared rivers for their prey or cultures, but it forbidden it to divert the currents or alter the volume of water downstream.
