India Says Pakistan Hits Its Military Bases
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
NEW DELHI/ISLAMABAD (Worthy News) – India has accused Pakistan’s army of attacking three of its military bases with drones and missiles, a day after dozens of people were reportedly killed by Indian strikes in Pakistan.
Though Islamabad denied attacking its neighbor, the Indian Army said it “had foiled” Pakistan’s attempts to attack its bases in Jammu and Udhampur, in Indian-administered Kashmir, and Pathankot, in India’s Punjab state.
Blasts were reported late Thursday in Jammu city in Indian-administered Kashmir as the region went into a blackout.
Yet Pakistan’s defence minister denied the allegations. “We deny it, we have not mounted anything so far,” Khawaja Asif said, adding, “We will not strike and then deny”.
Earlier Thursday, India fired attack drones into Pakistan, killing at least two civilians, the Pakistani military said, as tensions soared between the nuclear-armed rivals.
At least 48 deaths have been reported, 32 of them in Pakistan, since India launched missiles on Wednesday that it claimed targeted “terrorist camps”, while Pakistan retaliated with artillery strikes.
INDIAN ATTACKS
Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar says its responses to Indian attacks have shown “restraint”, but that the country deserves a larger retaliation at a place, time, and “manner of its choosing”.
Pakistan’s military also said it downed 25 Indian drones over its territory, while India stressed it thwarted Pakistani drone and missile attacks on its military.
Heavy exchanges of artillery fire have been reported along the Line of Control dividing Indian and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
Tensions have risen between the two countries since a deadly attack in Indian-administered Kashmir’s Pahalgam area on April 22, which India blamed on Pakistan.
However, Pakistan denied any involvement in the attack that officials said killed 26 tourists.
Kashmir has been a flashpoint between the neighbors since they became independent after British India was partitioned in 1947. Both claim Kashmir as part of their territory and have fought two wars over it.
