In retaliation for the murderous attack on April 22, tensions rise between India and Pakistan which compete along their disputed border in cashmere and its denounced by the international community.
“A shame”. While climbing between India and Pakistan, which exchange intense strikes at their disputed border in cashmere, accelerates, the international community denounces the rise of tensions and calls for a appeasement between the two nuclear countries.
During the night, when the strikes continued, the head of American diplomacy Marco Rubio spoke with his Indian and Pakistani counterparts, calling them to dialogue to “defuse the situation and avoid a new escalation”, according to the White House quoted by the Reuters news agency.
Asked little before, Donald Trump said he hoped that the clashes “will end very quickly”. “It’s a shame,” said the President of the United States against journalists in the White House. “I guess people knew that something was going to happen, based on the past. They have been fighting for a long time,” he added.
“Solution responsable”
At the end of April, after the murderous attack in the Indian cashmere which gave fire to the powder between India and Pakistan, Washington had already urged the two neighboring countries to find a “responsible solution.” “We are contacting both parties and say, of course, not to make the situation worse,” a spokesman for the State Department said, reported the news agency Reuters.
-“The world cannot afford a military confrontation,” said the UN. China called on both countries “to avoid taking measures that would complicate the situation more.”
The French diplomacy chief called India and Pakistan “with restraint” this Wednesday. “We understand the aspiration of India to protect itself against the scourge of terrorism, but we obviously call India as Pakistan, in restraint to avoid climbing and obviously to the preservation of civilians,” said Jean-Noël Barrot, on the TF1 channel.
Two weeks after the attack which killed 26 people in Pahalgam, in the Indian part of Kashmir, India, which assures that Islamabad is behind this attack despite its denials, put its threats. During the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, she pulled missiles on nine sites sheltering “terrorist infrastructures” in Pakistan.

Islamabad has denied any involvement in the attack, the deadliest to have targeted civilians in cashmere for more than 20 years. One of the sites targeted in the night by the Indian army is the Subhan mosque, in Bahawalpur, in the Pakistani pendjab, linked according to Indian intelligence to groups close to the Lashkar-E-Taiba (Let) jihadist movement. India accuses this group, suspected of attacks which had killed 166 people in Bombay in 2008, of having led the Pahalgam attack.
