[🇵🇰] Everything about latest Kashmir attack

[Lulldapull]

Bhai, India also cannot sustain a prolonged war with Pakistan because of China factor. Pakistan is the only country in South Asia which can checkmate India. China will open a second front to annex South Tibet. India can do a jack about it.

Our deterrent is now lost. India can blatantly attack us on the whim.

A lot of myths have been blown to bits over the last 3 years.

Ukraine/ Russia

Iran vs the Zios

And now India/ Pak conflict

Things have been turned on their head in just 3 years. Its like the flood gates have been opened.

US wants Pakistan, India to resume direct talks

Hours after US president Donald Trump urged India and Pakistan to ‘go out to dinner’ together to resolve their disputes, the State Department said Washington is now focused on encouraging direct communication between the two nuclear-armed neighbours, reports DAWN.com.

Speaking at the Saudi-US investment forum in Riyadh, president Trump highlighted his role in brokering the weekend ceasefire between the two South Asian rivals and urged them to build on this breakthrough.

‘I said, ‘fellas, come on, let’s make a deal. Let’s do some trading. Let’s not trade nuclear missiles, let’s trade the things that you make so beautifully’, Trump said, without clarifying which Indian or Pakistani leaders he had spoken to or when.

‘They’re actually getting along. Maybe we can even get them together, Marco, where they go out and have a nice dinner together,’ he said while addressing his secretary of state, Marco Rubio, who accompanied him to Saudi Arabia.

Meanwhile, Pakistan returned a captured border guard to India on Wednesday, in a fresh sign of detente after a ceasefire ended four days of conflict between the nuclear-armed rivals, reports AFP.

The guard was captured a day after an April attack in Indian-administered Kashmir which killed 26 people and sparked tit-for-tat missile, drone and fighter jet attacks.

No group claimed responsibility for the April 22 attack but India blamed Pakistan for backing it. Islamabad rejects the accusations and has called for an independent probe.

‘Purnam Kumar Shaw, who had been in the custody of Pakistan Rangers since 23 April 2025, was handed over to India,’ India’s Border Security Force said in a statement.

The handover was ‘conducted peacefully and in accordance with established protocols,’ it added.

In Washington, the State Department’s principal deputy spokesperson Tommy Piggott told reporters that the United States was now focused on encouraging direct engagement between the two countries.

‘We welcome the ceasefire reached between India and Pakistan this weekend and we commend both prime ministers for choosing the path of peace,’ said Piggott. ‘We also want to encourage direct communication between the parties.’

When asked whether Pakistan had given any commitments on ‘stopping terrorist activities’ that India accuses it of indulging in, Piggott declined to comment, but reiterated Washington’s support for dialogue.

Islamabad categorically rejects such allegations as unfounded and blames India for using them as an excuse to justify its aggression against Pakistan.

‘We have been clear on that. We continue to encourage that direct communication,’ Piggott said. ‘The president has been clear on that and the president has also been in praising both prime ministers for choosing the path for peace and wisdom.’

Responding to a question about the US reaction to India’s refusal to accept a US role in the peace process, Piggott said: ‘I am not going to speculate on that. What I can say is that we encourage direct communication.’

Asked if the US had sent a team to Pakistan following media reports about radiation leaks from some secure nuclear facilities in Pakistan, Piggott replied, ‘I have nothing to preview on that this time.’

When pressed on whether Indian prime minister Narendra Modi’s attitude was disappointing for Washington, the spokesperson avoided criticism. ‘What we are happy to see is a ceasefire. That’s what we are happy to see. That’s where our focus remains. We want to see the ceasefire maintained and we want to encourage direct communication,’ he said.

‘Our focus is the ceasefire. Our focus is on encouraging direct communication. That’s where our focus is going to remain. The president has spoken on this.’

Piggott was also asked whether president Trump would deserve the Nobel Peace Prize if he helped resolve the Kashmir dispute.

‘The president is a peacemaker. He values peace. He is also a dealmaker. And he has shown that again, and again, and again,’ Piggott responded. ‘When it comes to solving conflicts, the president wants to solve the conflicts where he can. Stands ready to help.’​

Pak FM to visit China on heels of conflict with India

Pakistan’s foreign minister will make a three-day official visit to China, his office said on Sunday, a little over a week after Islamabad reached a ceasefire with India to end their most serious conflict in decades.

Ishaq Dar, who also holds the portfolio of deputy prime minister, will start his visit on Monday in Beijing where he will hold ‘in-depth discussions’ with Chinese counterpart Wang Yi ‘on the evolving regional situation in South Asia and its implications for peace and stability’, his office said in a statement.

‘The two sides will also review the entire spectrum of Pakistan-China bilateral relations and exchange views on regional and global developments of mutual interest,’ it said.

Dar’s visit to Beijing comes on the heels of a tumultuous couple of weeks, following an April attack in Indian-administered Kashmir in which 26 people were killed.

New Delhi blamed Islamabad for backing the militants it claimed were behind the attack — the deadliest on civilians in Muslim-majority Kashmir in decades. Pakistan denies the charge.

The territory is claimed in full by both India and Pakistan, which have fought several wars over Kashmir since their 1947 independence from British rule.

On May 7, India launched strikes against what it said were ‘terrorist camps’ in Pakistan, kicking off four days of intense tit-for-tat drone, missile and artillery exchanges with Islamabad.

The conflict left more than 70 people, including dozens of civilians, dead on both sides.

Fearing further escalation, global leaders had urged restraint from both sides early on in the conflict, including China which promised to play a ‘constructive role’ — though experts say Beijing had clearly picked a side.

China has been one of Pakistan’s most reliable foreign partners, readily providing financial assistance to bail out its often struggling neighbour.

Dar told parliament on May 7, hours after aerial combat between the two sides, that Islamabad used Chinese jets against India, with Beijing’s ambassador called to his office over the deployment.

‘At 4 am in the morning, the whole Chinese team, led by their ambassador, was present at the foreign office,’ Dar told the parliament.

‘We apprised them about all the developments taken place until that time, and they were very happy,’ he said.

US president Donald Trump announced a surprise truce on May 10, which appears to be holding over a week later.

While Islamabad stated earlier in the week that the ceasefire would last until Sunday, the Indian army said there was no expiry date to the agreement.​

I don't believe Indian armed forces success against Pakistan. Indians are born liars. Pakistan air force pilots are far better than their Indian counterparts. I have posted some pictures and videos of IAF's SU-30MKI and RAFALES downed by PAF. Please don't believe Indian propaganda about their success against PAF. PAF is far ahead of IAF in network centric warfare. Peace.

Pakistan, India agree to withdraw troops by May

Pakistan and India have agreed to withdraw troop reinforcements deployed during their recent conflict back to their peacetime positions by the end of May, a senior Pakistani security official said on Tuesday.

Pakistan and India have agreed to withdraw troop reinforcements deployed during their recent conflict back to their peacetime positions by the end of May, a senior Pakistani security official said on Tuesday.

More than 70 people were killed in the four-day conflict, which was sparked by an attack on tourists by gunmen in Indian-administered Kashmir last month that New Delhi accused Islamabad of backing — a charge it denies.

Indian authorities have arrested nearly a dozen nationals for allegedly spying for Pakistan following their most serious conflict in decades, local media reported citing police.

Broadcaster NDTV reported Monday that authorities had arrested nine alleged ‘spies’ in the northern states of Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh.

Punjab’s director general of police Gaurav Yadav said Monday that his team had arrested two people ‘involved in leaking sensitive military information’.

Police had received ‘credible intelligence inputs’ the two men were involved ‘in sharing classified details’ related to New Delhi’s strikes deep into Pakistan’s territory on the night of May 6-7.

A preliminary investigation showed they were in ‘direct contact’ with handlers from Pakistan’s intelligence agency Inter-services Intelligence and ‘had transmitted critical information concerning the Indian Armed Forces,’ Yadav added.

In Haryana, police arrested a travel blogger last week on similar charges.

Police say the accused woman travelled to Pakistan at least twice and had been in contact with an official from the country’s embassy, local media reported. Others arrested include a student, a security guard and a businessman.

The India Today news outlet reported 11 such arrests. It said the accused were ‘lured into the spy network through social media, monetary incentives, false promises, messaging apps and personal visits to Pakistan’.

The military confrontation involving intense tit-for-tat drone, missile, aerial combat and artillery exchanges came to an abrupt end after US president Donald Trump announced a surprise ceasefire, which is still holding.

‘Troops will be withdrawn to pre-conflict positions by the end of May,’ the senior security official said as he was not authorised to speak to the media.

The official said both countries agreed a phased withdrawal of the additional troops and weaponry deployed, mostly on the already heavily militarised de facto border in Kashmir, known as the Line of Control.

It comes after the Indian army last week said both sides agreed to take ‘immediate measures to ensure troop reduction from the borders and forward areas’.

‘All of these steps were initially planned to be completed within 10 days, but minor issues caused delays,’ the Pakistani official added.

Kashmir is claimed in full by both India and Pakistan, which have fought several wars over Muslim majority region since their 1947 independence from British rule.

The latest conflict began on May 7 when India launched strikes against what it said were ‘terrorist camps’ in Pakistan, triggering an immediate response from Islamabad.​

Indian defence chief minister admits to losing fighter jets in recent Pakistan conflict

The Indian military has confirmed losing an unspecified number of fighter jets in the May clashes with Pakistan but said the four-day conflict never came close to becoming a conflict.

In an interview with Bloomberg TV on Saturday, Anil Chauhan, chief of defence staff of the Indian Armed Forces, said the focus should not be on the jets being blown out of the skies, but rather on why that was happening.

He dismissed Pakistan’s claims that it shot down six Indian warplanes as “absolutely incorrect”, but declined to mention how many jets India lost, reports bdnews24.com.

“Why they were down, what mistakes were made - that are important... Numbers are not important,” Chauhan was quoted as saying by The Times of India when asked about the fighter jets.

“The good part is that we are able to understand the tactical mistake which we made, remedy it, rectify it, and then implement it again after two days and flew all our jets again, targeting at long range,” he said.

The comments are the most direct yet from an Indian government or military official on what happened to the fighter jets during the conflict with Pakistan that erupted on May 7.

Earlier this month, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said his country shot down six Indian fighter jets. The assertion has not been independently verified. India’s government had refrained from commenting on losing any aircraft.

The recent conflict marked the worst between the nuclear-armed neighbours in half a century, with both sides trading air, drone and missile strikes, as well as artillery and small arms fire along their shared border.

On Apr 22, a suspected militant attack in India-controlled Kashmir killed 26 civilians, including tourists. India called the attack an act of terrorism orchestrated by Pakistan, though Islamabad denied any involvement.

Chauhan declined to comment on President Donald Trump’s claim that the US helped to avert a nuclear war, but said it was “far-fetched” to suggest either side was close to using atomic weapons.

“I personally feel that there is a lot of space between conduct of conventional operations and the nuclear threshold,” he said.

Channels of communication with Pakistan “were always open” to control the situation, he added, noting that on the escalation ladder there were “more sub-ladders which can be exploited for settling out our issues” without needing to resort to nuclear weapons.

Chauhan also downplayed Pakistan’s claims about the effectiveness of weaponry deployed from China and other countries, saying they “didn’t work.”

“We were able to do precision strikes on heavily air-defended airfields of Pakistan deep 300km inside, with the precision of a metre,” the Indian military chief said.​

India switched tactics after suffering losses in the air on the first day of conflict with Pakistan earlier this month and established a decisive advantage before the neighbours announced a ceasefire three days later, India's highest ranking general said on Saturday.

The heaviest fighting in decades between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan was sparked by an April 22 attack in Indian Kashmir that killed 26 people, most of them tourists. New Delhi blamed the incident on "terrorists" backed by Pakistan, a charge denied by Islamabad.

On May 7, Indian jets bombed what New Delhi called "terrorist infrastructure" sites across the border. Pakistan has said it downed six Indian planes, including at least three Rafale fighters, in the initial clashes.

The ceasefire was announced on May 10 after bitter fighting in which both sides used fighter jets, missiles, drones and artillery.
General Anil Chauhan, India's chief of defence staff, said in an interview that India suffered initial losses in the air, but declined to give details.​

Indian police have arrested scores of people for ‘sympathising’ with Pakistan, a month after the worst conflict between the arch-rivals for decades, a top government official said on Sunday.

The arrests took place in the northeastern state of Assam, where chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said ‘81 anti-nationals are now behind bars for sympathising with Pak’.

Sarma, from prime minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist ruling party, said in a statement ‘our systems are constantly tracking anti-national posts on social media and taking actions’.

One of the persons was arrested after he posted a Pakistani flag on his Instagram, Assam police said.

No further details about other arrests were given.

There has been a wider clampdown on social media since an April 22 attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir, the deadliest on civilians in the contested Muslim-majority territory in decades.

New Delhi blamed Islamabad for backing the Islamist militants it said carried out the attack, charges that Pakistan denied.

India and Pakistan then fought a four-day conflict, their worst standoff since 1999, before a ceasefire was agreed on May 10.

India’s counter-terrorism agency last month arrested a paramilitary police officer for allegedly spying for Pakistan, while authorities have arrested at least 10 other people on espionage charges in May, according to local media.

Sarma is also pushing efforts to stem the contentious issue of illegal immigration.​

Losses are not important, outcomes are: India’s General
New Age Desk 03 June, 2025, 23:30

Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan on Tuesday said that ‘professional military forces are not affected by setbacks and losses,’ days after claiming that India did lose some fighter jets during Operation Sindoor. However, losses are not important, but outcomes are, he added, reports The Times of India.

‘I think, professional forces are not affected by setbacks or losses, in a war, what is important is that the morale needs to remain high even if there are setbacks.

Adaptability is an important constituent of a very professional force. You should be able to understand what went wrong, need to rectify your mistake and go again. You cannot sit down in fear,’ he said while delivering a special lecture on the topic ‘future wars and warfare’ organised by Savitribai Phule Pune University.

Last week, Chauhan claimed that India lost some fighter jets while striking terror hubs in Pakistan and Pok and the consequent retaliation on May 7. He added that forces then changed tactics to inflict major damage on air bases deep across the border before the ceasefire three days later.

‘What I can say is on May 7, in the initial stages, there were losses,’ General Chauhan had said.

Making a strong statement, he said, ‘Pakistan should not be able to hold India hostage to terrorist activities,’ adding that New Delhi is not going to live under the shadow of terror and nuclear blackmail.

He added that the thinking behind Operation Sindoor was that state-sponsored terrorism from Pakistan had to stop.

‘Both nations (India & Pakistan) had tried to build different kinds of capabilities, so obviously there was an inherent amount of risk in this. None of the capabilities that we had acquired had been into the battlefield. There is always an element of risk in it, but as they say, you cannot succeed if you don’t take that type of risk. We knew that we had a better counter-drone system.’

He further said that what happened in Pahalgam on April 22 is ‘unacceptable to this modern world.’ ‘What happened in Pahalgam was profound cruelty towards the victims because all of them were killed with head shots in front of their families and their children, and they were shot in the name of religion, which is kind of unacceptable to this modern world.

This caused a huge revulsion in society. There was a kind of hatred. It revived memories because this was not a single act of terror against India. Western nations may have had one or two acts of terror. India has been a victim of the maximum terror acts, and almost 20,000 people have been killed.’​
