Russia expressed its deep concern about the increasing force between India and Pakistan and calls on both nations to take measures to prevent further escalation.
Tensions rose after a terrorist attack in the Baisaran Valley in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, in which 26 civilians were killed.On Tuesday, the Indian military began “Operation Sindoor’ and carried out attacks in Pakistan and Pakistan-controlled part of Kashmir, which prompted Islamabad to endanger to retaliate for what it considered a violation of the country's sovereignty."Russia powerfully condemns all acts of terrorism, opposes all terrorist activities and stresses the request to unite the global community in order to fight this evil effectively" – stated the Russian Ministry of abroad Affairs on Wednesday.
Moscow called for restraint and expressed hope that India and Pakistan would resolve their disputes "through peaceful political and diplomatic means."On Monday, Russian president Vladimir Putin asked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to offer his individual condolences on the attack of 22 April and reconfirmed the strategical partnership between the 2 countries.Russian abroad Minister Sergei Lavrow contacted his counterparts in India and Pakistan last week, offering Subrahmanyam Jaishankar and Muhammad Ishaq Dar to aid Moscow reduce tensions.New Delhi reported on Wednesday that it hit at least nine ‘Terrorist camps“ claiming that Pakistan’s armed forces and civilians were not its mark and describing their actions as ‘balanced and non-escalating’.Indian abroad Minister Vikram Misri said on Tuesday that the key mark was the Masjid Wa Markaz Taiba mosque complex in Muridke, close Lahauru in the Pakistani state of Punjab, which is considered to be the ideological and operational center of the Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist group.
The opposition Front (TRF), considered related to Lashkar-e-Taiba, initially confessed to the attack in Kashmir, although subsequent reports indicated that the group had distanced itself from him.Pakistan military spokesman, Lieutenant-General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, said Indian rocket attacks killed 8 civilians and injured 38 others.
