India and Pakistan have accused mutually on Thursday 8 Maid have made drone attacks, which aggravates the concern of an international community that calls the two nuclear powers to a decalcalance.
On Wednesday, the armies of the two countries exchanged an intense artillery fire after the Indian attacks in Pakistan pointing, according to New Delhi, the group that accuses of having committed the attack on April 22 in its part of the Kashmir. These bombings left at least 48 dead in both fields, almost all civilians.
Sacrificed Indian drones
On Thursday, after a quieter night in Cashmere, Lahore, the great border of the Pakistani city of India, woke up with the sound of explosions that resumed intermittently. India said “neutralized” the air defense deployed there.
Nueva Delhi claims to have acted in response to a night attack of “Pakistani missiles and drones” that had as “military objectives” on its ground.
The Pakistani army, meanwhile, insured at night that “demolished 28 of the 29 Israeli manufacturing drones” sent by India to at least nine cities, some military quotas or military intelligence, such as Rawalpindi, the city of Islamabad.
The Pakistani Foreign Minister, Ishaq Dar said that the drones “tried to attack military sites”, and “directed civilians”, killing one and hurting four soldiers.
“The Indian Armed Forces have attacked radars and air defense systems in several places in Pakistan,” said the Ministry of Defense of India, adding that Lahore’s facilities had been “neutralized.”
On Thursday night, the strong explosions, whose origin was not determined immediately, shook the airport of the city of Jammu, in the Indian Kashmir, said a security source.
After which Pakistan denied having launched strikes, the main military spokesman described the strikes of the Indian drones of “ghost defense”.
Karachi closed airport
The Pakistani army has denounced a “new act of aggression” of India directed with “Harop” Israeli manufacturing attack drones, that is, suicidal terrorist.
In Rawalpindi, near a perimeter closed by security forces, Wajid Khan, a civil defense employee, encouraged the public to “not give in to panic and stay at home.” In Karachi, the economic capital, the index of reference actions fell after the announcement of drone attacks, which resulted in the suspension of exchanges. Pakistani civil aviation has closed Karachi airport, which has to reopen at midnight.
At the same time, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of India, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, assured his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi, who came as a mediator, who had no “intention (of India) to cause a new climb.” However, he added, any attack against Pakistan will awaken “a very firm response.”
The Pakistani Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, said Thursday by phone with American diplomacy Marco Rubio, “firmly condemning the missile and attacks with planes not manned by India,” said his office.
Marco Rubio said that “the United States was following the situation closely” and asked the two neighbors to “work together to calm the situation.”
The American vice president also requested “decalcalación”, but by adding the Fox news channel “we will not get involved in a war that is fundamentally our business.”
An edge of Hed
In the days that followed the attack on April 22, for which New Delhi holds Islamabad despite their denials, the soldiers published on both sides of the de facto border in Cashmiro began to exchange light fire for the light weapon.
But on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, the situation has suddenly deteriorated: after the Indian attacks, the Pakistani soldiers released artillery and bombarded no respite from the Indian part of the predominantly Muslim region that the two countries compete.
These fire exchanges, Indian strikes and face to face in the air that continued during the day made a new level of rivalry between the two states, born in 1947 of a painful score on Wednesday.
For experts, such intensity had not been reached for two decades. As Prime Minister Narendra Moda had promised him, his army took reprisals destroying nine “terrorist fields”, carefully identified to “avoid the population or civil sectors,” according to the Minister of Defense, Rajnath Singh.
But the Indian missiles that rained in six cities in the Kashmir and the Pendjab Pakistaní and the exchanges of fire along the border in dispute left 32 dead and 57 wounded on the Pakistani side, according to the latest army report.
Islamabad claims to have “killed five Indian planes” in its neighbor’s airspace. An Indian security source said three hunters crashed, without details. The two neighbors had been in the warfoot since the attack that killed 26 people in Pahalgam, a tourist city of the Indian Kashmir, and was not claimed.
India has attributed it to a jihadist group based in Pakistan, Lashkar-E-Taiba (Let) and accused his neighbor.
“The fragments have reached them and died …”
In the capital of the Pakistani Kashmir Muzaffrabad, a mosque from which it was attacked by Indian strikes, several houses were destroyed and some injured inhabitants, such as the 15 -year -old daughter of Safeer Ahmad Awan.
“An explosion of shells pierced my daughter’s chest,” says this 50 -year -old father.
“It was only when his clothes began to stain blood that we discovered the injury,” he added, adding that the metal piece has not yet been extracted.
On the other side of the border de factoIn the city of Poonch, in Kashmiro administered by India, Madasar Choudhary says that her sister saw two children be killed before her eyes.
“I was at home when the first shells fell,” said the year 29 -years. “He saw two children leave his neighbor running and shouted to tell them to protect themselves,” he continued. “But the explosions have reached them and died …” In total, India lists 16 civilians killed, including three women and five children.
