India and Pakistan have more than 70 dead, this Tuesday, May 13, including fifteen soldiers, in their worst military confrontation for decades, the third day of a high fire that despite the promises of the two camps to “respond” to any new aggression.
When announcing military losses for the first time since the beginning a week ago hostilities a week ago, the Pakistani army reported that “11 soldiers were killed and 78 wounded” within the army and the Air Force.
It adds to identify “40 dead civilians, including seven women and 15 children, as well as 121 wounds, including 10 women and 27 children” in Indian strikes in several cities of the Pakistani Kashmir and in several Pakistani provinces. For its part, New Delhi lists 15 civilians and five killed soldiers.
After four days of drones, missiles and artillery dams in Kashmir, to everyone’s surprise, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, announced a “high total and immediate fire.” But again on Monday night, when addressing the Indians, the ultra -nationalist prime minister, Hindu Narendra Modi, promised: “If another terrorist attack points to India, we will bring it a firm response.”
“Losses are part of the fight”
The two neighbors, rivals since their painful score in 1947, had entered the spiral of tensions with an attack on the Indian Kashmir that had caused fear in India.
On April 22, the shooters had emerged from the wood to tear down 26 men, mainly Hindus in a tourist site. The attack was never claimed, but New Delhi immediately pointed to Islamabad, who accuses of supporting the jihadists of Cashmiris. Pakistan says that it has nothing to do with this attack.
On Wednesday, May 7, the Pakistani army replied: “That there is no ambiguity, any new attempt to challenge Pakistan’s sovereignty or its territorial integrity will arouse a quick, global and decisive response.” The following Sunday, the Hauts-Godés of the two camps were congratulated loudly, photos and videos in support, of having fulfilled their mission.
“The losses are part of the fight,” said General Ak Barthi, of the Indian Air Force, in front of the press. “But the only question is whether we have achieved our goal. And the answer to this question is a brilliant yes.”
He refused to comment on the statements of Pakistan, who said he had killed five Indian hunters, including three last Rafale French Manufacturing. “All our pilots have returned,” he said. Among Pakistani aviation soldiers are soil technicians, but also members of navigation units.
While responding to the battlefield, the two camps also respond to communication.
Donald Trump and Nuclear
Last Tuesday, the Chief of the Pakistani army, General Eque Mounir, who passes through the strong man according to experts, visited wounded soldiers in the hospital. The next day, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said his “eternal recognition” to the troops he visited at an air base.
If the Belic Rhetoric is still in order in the speeches, in the field, a significant incident has not been reported along the “control line” (loc) that separates the Kashmiro that the two neighbors argue.
In Chakothi, a Pakistani village along this line, the children resumed the school, after a closure of several days due to the intensity of fire exchanges between the Indian and Pakistani troops sometimes only a few tens of meters in puppy. Donald Trump, on the other hand, said he had arrested “a nuclear conflict.”
The escalation of violence
It all started on Wednesday, May 7 before Wednesday’s dawn, when Indian missiles destroyed, in Pakistani soil, mosques and Koranic schools that New Delhi presents as “terrorist camps.” About twenty civilians have perished in these strikes.
Pakistan immediately retaliates, sinking the two neighbors in the worst hours of their last conflict inaugurated in 1999.
Military officers from the two countries exchanged on Monday, said Indian general personnel. They mentioned the maintenance of the truce and “agreed so that the two camps are thinking of immediate measures to reduce the number of soldiers deployed at the borders,” he added.
