Pakistan test launches the ballistic missile as tensions with the height of India after the Kashmir rifle massacre
Islamabad (AP) – The Pakistan test launched a ballistic missile on Saturday, when tensions with India increased the deadly attack last month on tourists in the disputed Kashmir area.
The Pakistani army said the 450 -km missile (about 280 miles). There was no immediate comment about the launch of India, which blames Pakistan for the arms massacre on April 22 in the town of Paalgam, a charge denied by Pakistan.
The Pakistan Army said that the launch of the weapons system was aimed at ensuring “the operational readiness of the forces and the validity of the main technical parameters”, including the advanced navigation system in the missiles and the advantages of improved maneuvering.
Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shaybaz Sharif congratulated those who are behind the successful test. The missiles are not launched towards the border area with India. It is usually launched in the Arab Sea or the southern western Balochistan Province.
Sayed Muhammad Ali, a security analyst who is based in Islamabad, said that the Saturday missile was called the name of a prominent Muslim gas of India, which confirms its symbolic importance.
“The timing of this launch is crucial in the current geopolitical context,” Ali told Associated Press. He said that the test was intended as a strategic reference to India after he threatened to suspend a decisive treaty in water sharing.
The Indian Navy said on April 27 that its ships had succeeded in shooting by “reformulating and showing preparation for platforms, systems and its crew for a long -range offensive strike.”
Ashok Malik, a former policy consultant at the Indian Foreign Ministry, said that there is anger throughout the country after the weapons attack. 26 victims came from 13 different states.
Malik said: “At the international level, there is tremendous sympathy for India and small patience with Pakistan,” Malik said. “I don’t think anyone in India wants a full war. Nevertheless, there is local pressure and diplomatic space for a sharp, targeted and limited response.”
He said that the “muscle bending” continuous by the forces of both countries reflected the tense mood and also a phenomenon in “continuous hostilities” on the control line, according to the actual limits that divide Kashmir.
Kashmir is divided between India and Pakistan, and it is fully called.
They fought two of their three wars on the amazing Himalayas, and their relations were formed through conflict, aggressive diplomacy and mutual doubt, and this is mostly due to their competing demands for Kashmir.
The last glow led the two countries to expel diplomats and citizens of each other, in addition to closing the airspace.
On Saturday, India suspended the exchange of all mail from Pakistan through air roads and surface and slapped an immediate and indirect import of all goods from its neighbor.
India also banned the Pakistani ships that are crowded from entering their ports and banned Indian ships from visiting Pakistani ports.
The India Army said on Saturday that the Pakistani forces had been fired on the cross -border sites for the ninth night. The statement called on the unjustified fire and the Indian forces said, “It immediately responded and proportional.”
Pakistan did not confirm the exchange of fire in the control line.
The accident cannot be independently verified. In the past, each side was accused of starting border skirmishes.
The emotions rose between the Pakistanis who traveled to the Wagah crossing with India to see the famous flag reduction ceremony.
The scene includes Rangers Pakistan and the border security force in India in a dramatic procession on both sides of the crossing, with only a gate between them, their high kicks that extend beside the sky.
Shweib-Ur Rimnan said that any other experience raised such strong national feelings in it and that he witnessed “extraordinary emotions” during the Saturday party.
Rahman expressed his opposition to the war with India, but he said that he would fight alongside the Pakistan army if one of them erupted.
Sundas Batool wanted India to provide evidence about Pakistan’s participation in the Paalgam attack.
“The other side should have seen our energy and spirit,” Patol said, referring to the crowds on the other side of the border. “My message to India is: We are ready for anything.”
