The Indian strikes included targets in #Punjab, its first attacks on #Pakistan's most populous province since the last full-scale #war between the old enemies >50yrs ago, triggering fears of further hostilities in one of the world's most dangerous flashpoints."The targets we had set were destroyed w/exactness according to a well-planned strategy," #India's Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said. "We have shown sensitivity by ensuring that no civilian population was affected in the slightest."

In #Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistani #Kashmir, damage from an Indian strike was visible at sunrise. Security forces surrounded a small mosque in a hill-side residential neighbourhood that had been hit, with its minaret collapsed. Later in the day, funerals were held for several of those killed.#Hindu-majority #India & #Islamic #Pakistan have fought 2 of their 3 wars since independence in 1947 over #Muslim-majority Kashmir, which both sides claim in full & control in part.#geopolitics

The scale of the strikes went far beyond New Delhi's response to previous attacks in #Kashmir it has blamed on #Pakistan, including in 2019 & 2016, which some analysts said meant the risk of escalation was higher."Given the scale of the Indian strike, which was far greater than what we saw in 2019, we can expect a sizable Pakistani response," said Michael Kugelman, a Washington-based #SouthAsia analyst & writer for the #ForeignPolicy magazine.#India #geopolitics #SouthAsia

@Nonilex trump says " they've been fighting for decades... centuries if you think about it." Guess he doesn't know Pakistan only became a country in 1947. But hey, it seems like he's been in charge for centuries, so there's that...
