Assignment of the conflict after the Indian missile strikes
India on May 6 struck missile strikes on the territory of Pakistan, including the Azad Kashmir district, located under Pakistani control. The attack was a response to a terrorist attack, which occurred on April 22 in the Indian district Pakhalgam, as a result of which 26 people were killed.
According to the Indian side, nine goals that she described as “terrorist objects” were successfully affected. However, the Pakistani authorities claim that the attacks were on six civilian facilities, as a result of which eight people died, including a child, 35 were injured, two more are missing.
The Pakistani Army announced the confusion of five Indian fighters during the attack, but in New Delhi refuted this information.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers called military strokes as a “Operation Sindur”, calling them a “moment of pride”. The word “Sindur”, according to the Hindi dictionary, denotes a red powder that married Hindu women apply on the forehead.
In response, Pakistan Prime Minister Shakhbaz Sharif, in circulation to the nation, said that India would be responsible for the consequences of terrorist attacks, adding that Pakistan would avenge the dead.
