Hey everyone! Have you heard about the recent news between Pakistan and India? Let’s break it down together. 😊
Recently, there’s been some serious tension between these two neighboring countries in South Asia. On April 22, there was a terrible attack in a place called Pahalgam, which is in the Indian-controlled part of Kashmir. Sadly, 26 people lost their lives. 😢 India believes that militants based in Pakistan were behind this attack, but Pakistan says they weren’t involved.
In response, India carried out air strikes targeting what they say were “terrorist-training camps” in Pakistan and Pakistan-controlled Kashmir. They called this mission “Operation Sindoor,” dedicated to the women whose husbands were killed in the Pahalgam attack. 🇮🇳✈️
Pakistan says that these air strikes hit multiple locations, and sadly, at least eight civilians, including a child, were killed. They also say 35 people were injured and two are missing. Pakistan is very upset about this and called it an unprovoked act of war. 😠🇵🇰
To make things even more tense, Pakistan claims that they shot down five Indian fighter jets in retaliation. India hasn’t confirmed this, but it shows how serious the situation is getting. 🛩️🔥
Both countries have been firing at each other across the Line of Control, which is the border area in Kashmir. This has caused even more worry that things might get worse. 😬
Kashmir is a region both countries claim, and they’ve had conflicts over it in the past. Many people around the world are hoping that Pakistan and India can find a peaceful way to settle their differences. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for peace! ✌️🌍
