USA demand reluctance: Kashmir stresses burden India and Pakistan
The United States increases the pressure on India and Pakistan to prevent a conflict in Kashmir. This happens after one Terrorist attack on tourists in an Indian man -managed area of shared territory last week.
US demands on Pakistan and India
US Vice President JD Vance said on Thursday that Washington hopes that Pakistan would help the militants responsible for the attack, which are in an area controlled by Pakistan. Vance also asked India that Pakistan ascribes the guilt for the attack, also to react with reluctance so that the tensions do not develop into a war between nuclear.
Encourable words from US Minister Rubio
Vance's comments reflected the statements by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who spoke to leading representatives of Pakistan and India on Wednesday and asked both rivals to work together to reduce the tensions. Rubio expressed his regret about the lost life in the terrible terrorist attack in Pahalgam and confirmed the commitment of the United States to work with India in the fight against terrorism.
Concern about an escalation of the conflicts
The concerns about a larger conflict increased this week when Pakistan's Minister of Information, Attaullah Tarar, said that his country had "credible information" about India's plans to carry out military promotions against Pakistan in the next 24 to 36 hours. This period of time has now passed.
Review of the attacks in Pahalgam
On April 22nd, militants murdered 26 civilians, mainly tourists, in the mountain town of Pahalgam in Indian -managed cashmere. This massacre has triggered broad outrage. Since then, India and Pakistan have shown mutual hostilities by imposing its airspace for commercial flights from Pakistan Castle and Pakistan in return for flight bans for Indian flights.
Military activities of both countries
This week, both New Delhi and Islamabad showed their military strength. Pakistan shot an Indian drone on Tuesday, which was used in the controversial Kashmir area for "spy", while the Indian navy carried out a test rocket exercise two days earlier.
A historical context to the conflict
Kashmir, one of the most dangerous areas of conflict in the world, is partly controlled by India and Pakistan, but both countries claim the area in full. The two nuclear powers have waged three wars over the mountainous territory since their independence of Great Britain almost 80 years ago.
Military conditions between India and Pakistan
Both countries are strongly armed, but India has a significant advantage in a conventional conflict. The Indian defense budget is more than nine times as high as that of Pakistan and supports an active force of almost 1.5 million soldiers. In comparison, Pakistan has only 660,000 soldiers.
Nuclear tensions and capacities
In the nuclear upgrade, the two rivals are closer together, but India has a greater range with its ballistic rockets. India has two nuclear weapons-capable submarines, while Pakistan has none.
The analyzes and the situation require watchful observation, while the international actors continue to urge to de -escalate the tensions and find a peaceful solution.
