Pakistan Says Clashes with Neighbor India Killed More Than 50
Pakistan’s army said on Tuesday that more than 50 people were killed in last week’s military clashes with India which ended in a ceasefire agreed by the nuclear-armed neighbors, restoring peace to their border.
The arch rivals fired missiles and drones targeting each other’s military installations after India said it struck “terrorist infrastructure” sites in Pakistan and Pakistani Kashmir on Wednesday in retaliation for an attack on tourists.
Pakistan said the targets were all civilian. Its military said the dead in the attacks comprised 40 civilians and 11 of its armed forces.
India has said at least five military personnel and 16 civilians died.
Both agreed to a ceasefire on Saturday, following diplomacy and pressure from the United States.
The Indian military has said its bases are operational, despite minor damage.
It was a “very special experience to be with those who epitomize courage, determination and fearlessness”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday, in comments posted on X accompanying photographs of his visit to the Adampur air base.
