The new Delhi-Indian-controlled Kashmir's deadly attack on tourists has once again brought the Indian and Pakistan war, as two rivals humiliated diplomatic and trade ties, closed the main border crossing and canceled visas for each other's citizens.
Pakistan has denied that Tuesday's attack killed 26 Indian tourists in the picturesque area in the Himalayan area, where India claimed that it restored a peaceful feeling despite the decade rebellion. A previously unknown military group who called himself Kashmir's resistance has claimed responsibility for the attack.
India and Pakistan have fought from their three wars over Kashmir, which are divided between them and both claims. This is where you will find out what you know about escalating with two nuclear weapons.
According to Indian officials, troops exchanged fire with Pakistan soldiers in Kashmir
Indian officials said the army swapped a short fire with Pakistani soldiers along their highly militarized border in the Kashmir region of the challenged Himalayan region, as nuclear rivals raised the diplomatic attack after the deadly attack of tourists.
The gun fighting report between New Delhi and Islamabad will be dramatically exponentially after the armed men killed 26 people near the Halgam resort town of Kashmir on Tuesday. India immediately described the “terrorist attack” of the massacre and said it had “cross -border” links, accusing Pakistan of supporting it.
Pakistan denied any connection with an attack previously claimed by an unknown military group that called himself Kashmir's resistance.
Three Indian army officials said Pakistani soldiers used small weapons to shoot in Kashmir at the end of Thursday to shoot small weapons. Officials who spoke anonymity in accordance with department policy said that Indian soldiers had been revenge and were not reported on human casualties.
In Pakistan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will refuse to approve or prohibit a report on Friday. Ministry spokeswoman Shafqat Ali Khan told a press conference that “I look forward to the official confirmation of the military before the comment.”
He added that no other country has worked hard yet.
In the past, both sides have accused the other at the beginning of the border.
What is at the heart of the dispute?
The links between India and Pakistan have been shaped by conflicts, aggressive diplomacy and mutual suspicion, especially in their competing requirements for the Kashmir region.
Kashmir's armed rebels have lasted for decades to New Delhi, as many Muslims in Kashmir in Kashmir supported the purpose of the rebels to combine the territory either as Pakistan or as an independent state. India accuses Pakistani of denying the violence that denied Islamabad. Over the years, tens of thousands of civilians, rebels and government troops have been killed in the conflict.
How has Pakistan responded to India's opposite?
On Tuesday, the armed men were fatally fired by 26 people, mostly Indian tourists, attacking a picturesque city near Halgam. The new Delhi immediately associated Pakistan to the attack, although it did not publicly provide any evidence.
India proclaimed a wealth of penalty measures. This lowered diplomatic ties, suspended a significant water sharing agreement, and canceled all visas issued to Pakistan citizens. India also announced that it will reduce its employees in Pakistan in the Higher Commission and reduce the number of new diplomats in Pakistan to 30 from May 1 to 55.
Pakistan named India's activities “irresponsible” and canceled Indian citizens' visas, suspended all Indian trade, including third countries and closed its airspace on Indian aircraft.
Islamabas warns water dispute can lead to war
India's decision to suspend the water contract can potentially mark an important turning point in the way two neighbors manage a significant shared resource between them. Pakistan warned on Thursday that every Indian attempt to stop or direct the water flow between them was considered to be war.
The Indus Water Treaty, mediated by the World Bank in 1960, allows the water system to be shared in the rescue system of both countries. The contract has survived two wars between countries, 1965-1971, and in 1999 a major border.
It regulates the distribution of water supply from the Indus River system and its distributions. According to the contract, there is control over the eastern rivers in India, Sutlej and Beas, and Pakistan controls the rivers of Jhelum, Chenab and Indus, followed by the Kashmir region.
Pakistan said the contract was binding and did not include a unilateral suspension.
Pakistan described it as a “vital national interest”. The contract is essential for supporting agriculture and hydropower with 240 million people. Stopping this can cause water shortage when Pakistan's parts are already in trouble with drought and rainfall.
Pakistan warns that a peace treaty can be stopped
In the meantime, Islamabad has warned that it could be suspended by a Simla Treaty, signed by a significant peace treaty after the 1971 Indian-Pakistan War, which ended when leaving Pakistan in Bangladesh.
According to the agreement, India and Pakistan founded a control line, previously named Ceasfire Line – a very militarized de facto border that divides the contested Kashmir countries. They also undertook to resolve their differences through bilateral negotiations.
Military attacks extend back to peace purposes
Despite a lot of intense relationships, neighbors have alternately worked for peace. But regular exacerbations of borders and several warfare attacks in Kashmir and India are peaceful, as New Delhi has taken a difficult position against Islamabad, accusing him of terrorism.
In 1999, insurgents and Pakistani soldiers supported by Pakistan were captured by Indian military positions at the icy height of the Kargil region. Indian troops reacted and a 10-week conflict killed at least 1,000 fighters on both sides. The fighting stopped after US intervention.
In 2008, a group of strongly armed attackers in Lashkar-E-Taban, Pakistan, went to Mumbai, an Indian financial capital group, killing 166 people. New Delhi accused Pakistan's intelligence service of the attack – on the accusation of Islamabad.
In 2019, the bombing of suicide car killed 40 Indian soldiers in Kashmir and brought countries closer to the war. India said in response that his Air Force was hit by a military training camp in Pakistan. Pakistan responded with air strikes, shot Indian military aircraft and conquered an Indian pilot who was later released.
Moon later, Prime Minister Narendra Mod's government canceled the semi -autonomous status of Kashmir and introduced swept security measures. Since then, there has been a tremendous presence in the Indian region with the presence of the presence and drastically restricted disagreement, civil liberties and media freedoms.
The core confrontation concerns
Over the years, India and Pakistan have built their armies and nuclear arsenals. India was the first to take the nuclear test in 1974, followed by the second in 1998. in the year. Pakistan followed his nuclear tests only a few weeks later. After that, the parties have armed hundreds of nuclear warheads, missile delivery systems, advanced fighter jets and modern weapons to receive each other.
