Tensions Soar: India Reports Airstrikes by Pakistan, Pakistan Denies Allegations
New Aggressions in India - Pakistan Denies Allegations - Pakistan Denies fresh Attacks Accusations - India
Hey there! Let's talk about the current escalating tension between India and Pakistan.
It's getting heated on the Indian subcontinent again. The latest news reports that Pakistan allegedly launched airstrikes on Indian-controlled territories and military installations in the Indian state of Punjab. However, Pakistan flatly denies these accusations which are yet to be independently verified.
In a statement, India's Defense Ministry claimed that Pakistan carried out attacks using rockets and drones in the Indian-controlled part of Kashmir and a military station in Punjab. The threats were supposedly neutralized, leaving no casualties.
Pakistan's Stand
Pakistan fights back, asserting that the baseless and reckless claims made by Indian media are untrue. The Pakistan Information Minister, Ataullah Tarar, reiterated that Pakistan did not target any Indian territories. India and Pakistan both govern parts of Kashmir, although both countries claim the entire region.
The root of this escalation can be traced back to the 1947 colonial era partition, when Pakistan became a new Muslim state separate from predominantly Hindu India. Since then, the two nations have fought multiple wars, two of which were centered on Kashmir.
The latest flashpoint is the brutal terror attack on April 22, 2025, in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, which left 26 Indian tourists dead. India holds Pakistan responsible for harboring the terrorists behind the attack, an allegation that Pakistan rejects.
In response to the attack, skirmishes and tensions have escalated between the neighboring nations, with air raid sirens sounding in Jammu and Kashmir upon loud explosions. Media outlets report that at least 8 enemy rockets were intercepted by India's air defenses.
Recent History and Violence
Since the attack, India retaliated with attacks on several Pakistani targets. According to Pakistani military estimates, over 30 people were killed and 57 injured in India's retaliatory attacks, while one person was killed and five were injured in the shootdown of Indian drones the previous night. India reports that 16 civilians, including 5 children, were killed by Pakistani artillery fire at the border, with one soldier also killed.
On the bright side, Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi continued his mediation talks in New Delhi after a visit to Pakistan, aiming to foster peace in the region.
