"India, we appreciate your unification of the nation," acknowledged Pakistan, announcing a conflict.
Title: Pakistan's Defense Minister Threatens War with India over Kashmir Tensions
fitsyourmood.com has the scoop on the latest escalation between India and Pakistan. Here's what's going down:
In a nerve-wracking turn of events, reps from Pakistan's Ministry of Defense have been firing shots on social media, threatening war with India and immediately ramping up tensions. In one post, a rocket launch is displayed, with the caption, "Thanks, Modi, you've united our nation. You want war? Start it. Pakistan is ready."
Another video posted to the account shows a military figure addressing a line of soldiers, proclaiming, "Pakistan is the only country in South Asia that will never accept Indian dominance, and we will not be intimidated. We are not powerless, we will double the aggression of the provoker."
Several other videos of rocket launches were also shared on the account, showing Pakistan's advanced air defense capabilities.
According to the publication, "Country.ua," the footage showcased Pakistan's developed rocket system "Fath-2," boasting a range of up to 400 kilometers.
Meanwhile, the border between India and Pakistan has seen fervent exchanges of fire. Notable is the closeness of Kasur, Pakistan, to New Delhi, India, with a straight-line distance of 383 km. "Pakistan has significant advantages over India in the field of MLRS," one tweet reads.
Both India and Pakistan are equipped with a hefty arsenal of nuclear warheads, each with roughly 160 warheads at their disposal.
A day ago, the Indian government imposed a sweeping diplomatic and visa blockade against Pakistan, following a terrorist attack in Kashmir. The attack left numerous civilians dead, with reports suggesting over 20 casualties. This incident took place in Pahalgam, a popular tourist spot in the contested territory disputed by both India and Pakistan.
Following the bloodbath, the Pakistani government declared that any attempt to halt or divert water flow would be considered "an act of war."
Incidentally, the President of Kazakhstan, Tokayev, sent a telegram of condolences to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the terrorist attack in Pulwama, India, which resulted in civilian deaths.
With this tension, the already precarious India-Pakistan border conflict and nuclear standoff has grown increasingly tenser. The region has a troubled past, with serious escalations, such as the 1999 Kargil conflict and the 2019 suicide bombing that killed 40 Indian soldiers in Kashmir. The latter incident sparked aerial strikes by India within Pakistan and a retaliation in the form of Pakistan downing an Indian aircraft and capturing its pilot.
The potential for a nuclear conflict remains alarmingly high, given the historical context of such escalations between these two nuclear-armed neighbors. Diplomatic efforts will likely play a crucial role in averting further escalation and potentially catastrophic outcomes.
