“The irresponsible behavior of India put two nuclear states on the verge of a major conflict,” said Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesman, Shafait Ali Khan, on Friday.
He added that “the war hysteria of India should be a great concern for the world”, at a time when the military confrontation between the two countries continues despite international calls for restraint.
India and Pakistan have exchanged accusations of launching new military attacks today, Friday, using drones and artillery for the third consecutive day in the fiercest fighting wave between the two neighbors for nearly three decades.
Clashes have been taking place between the two old opponents since India bombed multiple sites in Pakistan on Wednesday, which it said was “terrorist camps” in response to the Kashmir attack last month.
The two countries also exchanged fire and bombing across the border, and launching drones and missiles to their air field since then, killing about 48 people.

These battles are the most bloody since a limited conflict between the two countries in the Cargill Kashmir region in 1999, according to “Reuters”. India has targeted cities in the main mainland regions outside the Pakistan -controlled part of Kashmir for the first time since the comprehensive war that erupted between them in 1971.
The Indian army said that the Pakistani forces resorted to “many violations of the ceasefire” along the actual borders between the two countries in Kashmir, a region that they share control, but they demand full sovereignty over them.
He also added, “We responded to the attacks of marches, and we responded appropriately to violations of the ceasefire,” noting that all “evil plans” will be answered “by force.”
On the other hand, the Pakistani Minister of Information, Atallah Tarar, said that the Indian army statement “is unfounded and misleading, and that Pakistan has not carried out any” offensive actions “targeting areas within the part of India’s control of Kashmir or outside the country’s borders.
Pakistan -controlled part officials from Kashmir said that five civilians, including an infant, were killed and 29 others were wounded in a violent bombing across the border during the early hours of this morning.
It is noteworthy that the last escalation began on April 22, when armed men killed 26 people in the India -run part of Kashmir.
New Delhi, Islamabad, was accused of being behind him, which was denied by the latter and called for a neutral investigation.
