India and Pakistan agreed on Saturday, May 10, to stop their hostilities this Saturday, after four days of attacks by mortal drones, artillery fires and missile attacks, but New Delhi said after a few hours to have to take reprisals, accusing Islamabad of “repeated violations” of Alto El Fuego.
“We ask Pakistan to take the appropriate measures to respond to these violations and deal with the situation with seriousness and responsibility,” said the Secretary of the Ministry of External Affairs, Vikram Misri.
Islamabad has not commented until now.
The AFP journalists heard a series of strong detonations on Saturday night in Srinagar, the main city of the Indian Kashmir, where the anti -avion defense has entered into action. In the Pakistani Kashmir, two officials brought “exchanges of intermittent fires of the AFP between the Pakistani and Indian forces in three places along the control line”, the de facto border in the disputed region.
“The choice of responsibility”
Since Wednesday, the two neighbors, born of a painful score in 1947 of the British colonizer and both endowed with nuclear weapons, have worried foreign capitals to fear the point of no return.
“After a long night of discussions under American mediation, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have accepted a high total and immediate fire,” Generald Trump in his social network Trump announced on Saturday, sending their “congratulations to the two countries” for their “common sense and great intelligence.”
In Islamabad, Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar confirmed in X “a high fire with immediate effect.” In New Delhi, a government source said, however, that it had negotiated directly between India and Pakistan and that the two neighbors had not planned to discuss more than the high fire.
The United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, said the two governments “agreed to start conversations in a wide range of questions in a neutral place.”
Several Western capitals have praised the agreement, “extremely welcome” for London “, the choice of responsibility” for Paris, “an important first step” according to Berlin. The Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, as Iran, expressed the hope of a “lasting peace.”
China said he was “ready to continue playing a constructive role”, saying that he is also worried about any escalation of the conflict because he shares borders with the two countries. His Foreign Minister Wang Yi said they expect the two parties to “remain quiet (…) and avoid any escalation.”
“Surveillance”
If it is still fragile, the stop the fire caused the relief of the Kashmir on both sides of the border. On the Pakistani side, for Imran Mir, a 30 -year -old businessman, detention hostilities are “really welcome.” “We live in the control line (the de facto border, the editor’s note), and with each conflict, it is we who suffer more,” he said.
On the Indian side, this is also good news for the head of local government Omar Abdullah. “Now we can better organize the supply and treatment of the injured.” Sukesh Khajuria, Indian Cashmiri, asks for “surveillance.” “The high fire is welcome, but it is difficult to trust Pakistan.”
The sudden increase in tension began on April 22 with an attack that surprised India: armed men killed 26 civilians in a tourist site with Indian Kashmir. Nueva Delhi accused Islamabad of supporting the jihadist group that suspects the attack, which his neighbor firmly denied.
After sanctions and threats, the two countries have entered their worst military confrontation for decades on Wednesday. That day, India led strikes in several Pakistani cities claiming to destroy “terrorist fields” there and causing a spiral of attacks and counterattacks.
Again on Saturday morning, Pakistan announced that he will launch his response after Indian missile fire in military bases, including one at the doors of Islamabad. The Pakistani prime minister said that “with the operation of ‘Compact Building’, Pakistan had” given India an adequate response and avenged innocent deaths “, a” revenge “that had promised in a speech the nation on Wednesday.
India confirmed that it has suffered a series of attacks, including drones, against several military objectives located throughout the northwest of its territory.
According to the official evaluation of both fields, violence has killed sixty civilians since Wednesday. This state of war has aroused important movements of the population on both sides of the “control line” that separates the disputed region from the back of the two countries.
After the announcement of Alto El Fuego, Pakistan reopened his airspace while he was on the Indian side, 32 airports in the fourth northwest of the country remained closed.
