The Indian Army has launched a massive 'Find and Destroy' operation against terrorists across the Kashmir Valley. Surveillance drones have been deployed for that. And, the number of soldiers has been increased. The search operation is looking for three suspects. One in three are Indian nationals and two are Pakistani.
On Friday morning, Kashmiri authorities demolished the houses of two suspected militants. One of them is accused in Tuesday's attack, an official said.
As tensions rise between the two countries, the United Nations has urged India and Pakistan to exercise restraint. The United Nations has expressed concern that the relationship between the two countries has fallen to the lowest level in years.
There was a shootout on Thursday night in the India-Pakistan border area. According to the news written by the international news agency AP citing an Indian army official, on Thursday night, Pakistani soldiers opened fire with small arms at an Indian check post in Kashmir. According to Al Jazeera, there was an exchange of fire between the security forces of India and Pakistan along the Line of Control (LoC) that separates the two countries.
On Tuesday, relations between India and Pakistan have become tense after 27 people, including some foreigners, were killed in a terrorist attack in Baisran Valley, known as 'mini Switzerland' near Pahalgam. Sudeep Neupane of Butwal was also killed in the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. 17 people were injured in the incident. In such a situation, the news of the exchange of fire between the soldiers stationed on the border of the two countries has worried the world. AP has mentioned that the Indian Army also retaliated in the incident of
shooting. But Pakistan has not released any official response to this incident. "I don't want to comment until there is a formal confirmation from the army," Pakistan's foreign ministry spokesman Shafqat Ali Khan told a press conference.
Hindustan Times quoting an interview given by Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Asif to a television station, has mentioned that India's actions have created a threat of war between the two neighboring countries. India cut diplomatic ties with Islamabad on Wednesday, accusing it of supporting "cross-border terrorism". But Pakistan has said that it had no role in the Pahalgam attack and that the attack was India's domestic problem.
India's decision to suspend the Indus Water Treaty has raised important questions about how the two neighboring countries will manage the shared resource in the future. Pakistan has warned that any Indian attempt to block or divert the flow of water will be considered an "act of war" and will be retaliated accordingly. In addition, India has reduced the number of employees working in its diplomatic missions in Pakistan, barred Indians from going to Pakistan, and ordered all Pakistanis in India to leave the country.
Pakistan calls India's move 'irresponsible' and cancels visas of Indian citizens. It has also suspended all trade with India through third countries and barred Indian aircraft from entering its airspace. Meanwhile, Islamabad has warned it could suspend the Shimla Accord, a landmark peace treaty signed after Bangladesh seceded from Pakistan after the 1971 India-Pakistan war.
According to this agreement, India and Pakistan established the Line of Control. Formerly known as the 'Ceasefire Line', this highly militarized border divides disputed Kashmir between the two countries.
The resistance front (TRF), a shadow organization of the banned Pakistani insurgent group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), claimed responsibility for the attack. Although the insurgency has been going on for three and a half decades in the Muslim-majority region of Jammu and Kashmir, there has been a slight decrease in the number of attacks in recent years. Even during the three-and-a-half-decade-long conflict in the Jammu and Kashmir region, such large-scale attacks on tourists were rare.
