How can handle kashmir tensions
Pakistan Army "shoots down two Indian Air Force planes" and Kashmir tension
Pakistani troops announced on the 27th that they shot down two Indian Air Force aircraft in their own airspace in the Kashmir region and detained two crashed pilots. The Pakistani government has announced that it will take countermeasures "by time and place" in response to India's air strikes on extremist fighters in Pakistan on the 26th.
The Pakistani Ministry of Information has released a video showing one of the pilots of a detained Indian military aircraft. The man, who was blindfolded and appeared to have blood on his face, claimed to be Lieutenant Colonel Abu Hinandan.
Maj. Gen. Asif Ga'Hoor, a Pakistani military spokesman, explained that one of the Indian Air Force planes shot down crashed into Pakistani territory and the other crashed into Indian territory. On the other hand, he also said he did not target India's military targets because he "did not want to go on the path of war."
India's Foreign Minister Susuma Swaraj said they "act responsibly with self-control" and emphasized that "India does not want the situation to worsen."
The Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on the 27th that the Pakistan Air Force had carried out air strikes across the line of battle with India in the Kashmir region prior to the downfall of the Indian aircraft. Pakistan explained that it "bombed non-military targets and avoided human and collateral damage," but the Indian side argued that it had intercepted Pakistani aircraft.
India is also alleged to have announced restrictions on flight in the territory. According to Vislata Airlines, flights around the Kashmir region have been cancelled.
In the Kashmir region, tensions between the two countries have increased since at least 40 people were killed in a terrorist attack on the Indian side targeting the country's police force on the 14th.
The airstrikes that crossed the stop line have been since the Third Indo-Pakistani War in 1971. India and Pakistan are both nuclear powers.
Bombardment beyond the stop line continued, killing four Pakistani citizens and injuring 10 in the attack on the 26th. Five soldiers were injured on the Indian side, according to Indian officials. Schools were closed in the Rajouri and Punch areas near the war line. Evacuation orders were issued to the local residents.
The Kashmir region, which is dominated by Islam, has both India and Pakistan claiming sovereignty over the entire region, but is divided into two countries across the line of war.
The Kashmir region was not assigned at the time of the independence of India and Pakistan in 1947, and the first Indo-Pakistani War broke out after the riots occurred two months after the independence. The ceasefire line was drawn by the ceasefire agreement by the United Nations mediation in 1949, but it became the battlefield of the India-Pacific war in 1965 and 1971.
