The Indian army said that the Pakistani armed forces launched “multiple attacks” using drones and other ammunition along the entire western border in India on Thursday evening and the beginning of Friday, and the conflict between the nuclear armed neighbors intensified.
The old enemies have been colliding since India hit multiple sites in Pakistan on Wednesday, which it said was “terrorist camps”, in response to a deadly attack on the Indian tourists in the Indian Kashmir last month.
Pakistan has denied that it was involved in the attack, but both countries exchanged a cross -border fire and bombed and sent drones and missiles to the airspace of each other since then, with nearly fourteen people dying in violence.
The fighting is the bloodiest since a limited conflict between the two countries in the Kashil region in Kashmir in 1999. India targeting cities in the mainland provinces in Pakistan outside the Pakistani Kashmir is the first since its full war on a large scale in 1971.
The Indian army said that the Pakistani forces resorted to “many violations of the ceasefire” along the actual borders of the countries in Kashmir, a region divided between them, but they are fully invited.
The army said: “The drones attacks were effectively repelled and a response was given to CFVS (ceasefire violations), adding that all” tiny designs “will be answered with” force “.
The Minister of Information in Pakistan, Attallah Tarar, said that the Indian army statement was “unfounded and misleading”, and that Pakistan has not implemented any “offensive measures” targeting the areas inside the Indian Kashmir or outside the country's borders.
Islamabad earlier denied the attack of the city of Pathancot in the Indian state of Punjab, and Srenajar in Wadi Kashmir, and Jaisalmer in Rajstistan, saying that the accusations are “unfounded” and “political motivation”.
Smover alarm in Amritsar
The Border Security Force in India said that the “major infiltration attempt” was “frustrated” in the Samba area in Kashmir Thursday evening, and the heavy artillery cage in the URI area continued on Friday, according to a security official who did not want his name.
The official said: “The fire caught fire in many houses and was damaged in the bombing in the URI sector … One woman was killed and three people were injured in the shelling overnight.”
The sirens were launched for more than two hours on Friday in the Indian border city of Amritsar, which includes the golden temple that the Sikhs watched, and asked the population to stay inside.
The hotels have reported a sharp decrease in occupancy, as tourists fled the city by road since the airport was closed.
“We really wanted to stay, but the loud voices, warnings, and power outages give us nights without sleep. Our families in the homeland are concerned about us, so we booked a taxi and leave.”
Other border areas have also taken precautionary measures on Friday, including BHUJ in Gojarat, where the authorities said that the tourist buses had been kept in a willingness to evacuate residents near the Pakistani border.
Schools and training centers in the state of Bikanner in the state of Rajstistan have been closed, and residents near the Pakistani border said they were asked to move further and think about moving with relatives or using the government's residence.
Ansab, a student at Sher-Kashmir University for Agriculture, Science and Technology in the city of Jammu, which was among the places where the explosions were heard overnight, said that the explosions were “more violent and the highest voice” at about 4 am (2230 GMT on Thursday).
“For two to three minutes, I became very loud, and the windows began to shake as if they were collapsing,” she said, adding that the air was “blurry” later – a mixture of smoke and fog.
The global powers from the United States to China urged the two countries to calm tensions, and US Vice Vice President JD VANCE reiterated on Thursday the call to cancel the escalation.
“We want this thing to be mixed as soon as possible. We cannot control these countries,” he said in an interview with Fox News “The Story With Martha Maccallum.”
The relationship between Hindu Hindu and Islamic Pakistan has been tense since it became separate countries after independence from British colonial rule in 1947.
Kashmir, a Muslim -majority area, was in the heart of hostility, and they fought two of their three wars in the area.
