The situation last night in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir remained calm for the first time in several days, the Indian army reported, quoted by the PTI agency, BTA reports.
“No incidents were reported“, the military added.
Last week, tensions between India and Pakistan reached dangerous levels, with the two countries on the verge of a new armed conflict. According to AFP, drone strikes, artillery fire and rocket strikes were carried out.
On Wednesday, Indian missiles hit targets in Pakistani territory that Delhi claims belong to a jihadist group suspected of being behind the April 22 attack in Indian-administered Kashmir. The attack killed 26 civilians and is seen as the catalyst for the subsequent escalation in relations.
Pakistan, accused by India of supporting the militant group, has categorically denied any involvement in the attack. However, Islamabad has responded with military action, leading to a series of attacks and counterattacks between the two nuclear powers, AFP added.
