India acknowledges its losses and cautious calm on the border with Pakistan news
The Indian army acknowledged its air losses during the military operations launched by the Air Force against Pakistan for the past days, while a calm prevailed warning the border between the two countries after agreeing to a ceasefire. The two sides exchanged accusations of violation.
The Indian Air Force said today that “the losses are part of the fighting” without mentioning details, but he made it clear that all its pilots returned home after the operations against Pakistan last week.
A spokesman for the Pakistani army told Reuters last Wednesday that 5 Indian planes were shot down, but India did not confirm this. 4 government sources in the Indian Kashmir told Reuters that 3 fighters fell in the region hours after India announced that they had bombed 9 sites in Pakistan.
In the corresponding camp, the Pakistani army spokesman said at a press conference today, Sunday, that the warplanes bombed – before the ceasefire agreement came into implementation – 26 Indian military facilities, and dozens of motors were shaved over major Indian cities, including the capital, New Delhi.
Return of calm
Meanwhile, calm prevailed at the border between India and Pakistan hours after the two parties exchanged accusations of violating a truce reached by Washington, which put an end to the violence between them since 1999.
In comments reported by the French Press Agency, a senior Pakistani officer in Muzaffar Abad told reporters, provided that his identity was not disclosed, “We have not been informed of any armed incident since this morning.”
Calm also returned to the Indian town of Ponch (northwest), which was severely affected by the Pakistani bombing, and its daily market was reopened. “I feel very happy, I hope we can return to work and continue calm,” the 15 -year -old fruit seller, 15, told the French Press Agency.
Over a period of 4 days, the two nuclear neighbors exchanged artillery shelling, attacks with enlightenings and missiles, which raised fears of the development of the situation into an all -out war between the two nuclear powers and pushed many foreign capitals to call for restraint.
The tension began on April 22, when the Indian part of Kashmir witnessed an attack carried out by armed men, during which 26 people were killed in a tourist site, and India accused the “Askar Taibah” group of carrying out the attack, but Islamabad denied any relationship with it and called for an independent investigation.

Frank implementation
In the context, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry announced that Islamabad is committed to the accurate implementation of the ceasefire agreement, and that it deals with the situation with responsibility and control of a soul, despite what the Indian violations called in some areas.
The Pakistani Foreign Ministry welcomed the US presidency on Pakistani -Indian relations, and praised the constructive role that Washington played in reaching a ceasefire and reducing escalation.
The Pakistani Foreign Ministry expressed its appreciation for President Donald Trump’s willingness to support efforts to resolve the Jammu and Kashmir region, and stressed that any fair and permanent settlement of the conflict should be in accordance with the decisions of the United Nations Security Council.
On the other hand, the Indian authorities said that they would resume consultation within two days in this regard. The Undersecretary of the Indian Foreign Ministry, Vikram Maysri, said that Pakistan violated the agreed ceasefire yesterday, while Islamabad denied violating the agreement.
For his part, the US President said that he is very proud of the strong and established leadership of India and Pakistan, because of its strength and wisdom, after the United States managed to help reach a heroic historical decision, the two countries were destroyed and dead for millions of innocent people.
Trump stressed that his country will increase its commercial exchange significantly with India and Pakistan, although he has not yet discussed this. He stressed that he will work with India and Pakistan to try to reach a solution about Kashmir.
