Clash between Pakistani and Indian military takes place in Kashmir




An exchange of fire between the Pakistani and Indian military occurred on the control line in Kashmir, the Pakistan Ministry of Defense said. The clash led to casualties on both sides, while the Pakistani army lost three troops, the Indian - five soldiers. It is noted that during the shelling, the fortifications of both armies were severely damaged, and "numerous wounded" were reported, the exact number of which was not specified.

In turn, the Indian agency ANI, citing its own sources, confirmed the fact of a clash on the control line, which led to the death of the Pakistani military, but categorically rejected information about the losses of the Indian army, saying that there were no losses from the Indian side.

The clash of the parties took place against the backdrop of deteriorating relations between Islamabad and New Delhi after the Indian authorities decided to abolish the state of Jammu and Kashmir, creating instead of it two allied territories with a decrease in the status and autonomy of the region, the only one in India with a predominantly Muslim population. The dispute over the ownership of this territory between Pakistan and India has been going on since 1947.

Earlier it was reported that the traditionally held between the military of the two countries ceremony of the exchange of sweets on the occasion of religious holidays was canceled at the initiative of the Pakistani side. This ceremony serves as an indicator of the level of relations between the two countries.

      dear Starchugan, you wrote nonsense.
      Wet each other as your "warlike" soul pleases, but think about other countries as well.
      What are the neighbors? People shed blood. The salvation of drowning is the work of the drowning themselves. Nuclear weapons are a deterrent weapon. They’ve been fighting there for 70 years and God forbid that they’ve fought for another 100 years.
      This war creates risks for the southern "Silk Road" and is beneficial to offended India, and to us. I always believed that the road, through dozens of states, is an extremely risky venture and the United States can cut it anywhere. And here we did without them.

      She also left Bangladesh as part of Pakistan. But Bangladeshis, although Muslims, did not agree with this for some reason.

        Because the authorities of West Pakistan took the path of forced language imposition (very similar to the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine)
        But Britain was not up to such subtleties then, the British built a religious conflict when they realized that NCD would knock them out of the country

        This is done on purpose, the peace and prosperity of Britain in its former colonies is not needed. The principle: "divide and conquer" nobody noted.

      Yes, there was never a single country there, there was a set of appanage principalities, each with its own religion, its own rulers, its own army. The Britons combined it all into one, called it all "India" and, with a fool, felt that they had fulfilled their mission. But no, three hundred years of colonial development in this geographic corner was not enough. If the Britons had owned all this happiness, let's say, for a thousand years, or even more, then perhaps there would be now a single country, not torn apart from the inside.

        Great Britain, like most of the colonists of "That era", was interested in absolutely selfish goals and long-term plans in this case are unrealizable.

          Well, why, now, almost 450 years ago, Russia colonized the Western Sibbir and not at all with disinterested goals. And at least today it does not smell of any separatism.

        Yes, I agree, as practice has shown, all this "liberation from the colonial oppression" did not bring anything good to the "liberated"

        Once upon a time, Kievan Rus also made up of separate principalities that were at war with each other, and this actually allowed Bat Khan to seize them one by one, but this same common misfortune partially served as the beginning of the unification of Russia.

          Yes, the Mongols took Russia into the Horde and, if not for the internal clashes between the Mongols, then Russia would still be part of the Horde.

      What is such a single country? They were never a single country, only the British united them.

      Britain actually created this single country from hundreds of separate principalities.

    An interesting move on the part of the Hindus, the curtailment of autonomy will raise radicalized elements "into the gun", which will open up the possibility of starting a military operation, as a result of which these elements will be purged and expelled to Pakistan, from where they will appeal to the "world community".

    This is where our Foreign Ministry to work and work, to once again seat two nuclear powers at the negotiating table. And then the Foreign Ministry from Uncle Xi will take off the cream and get China to existing ports and roads something else on the land of Pakistan, for example, in a row for a new dual-use airfield.
