India launches airstrikes on Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir | BBC News

Published

on



The Indian government says its forces have launched “Operation Sindoor”, “hitting terrorist infrastructure” in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir “from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed”.

In a statement, the Indian government said: “Nine sites have been targeted… Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution.”
The statement said the attack was ordered after last month’s deadly militant attack on tourists in India-administered Kashmir.

Explosions have been reported in several places in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir with reports of power cuts in the city of Muzaffarabad.

The head of Pakistan’s military public relations wing confirmed that three areas have been hit by Indian missiles, Muzaffarabad and Kotli in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, and Bahwalpur.

Relations between India and Pakistan have deteriorated sharply following the attack by Islamist militants on Hindu tourists that killed 26 people in Indian-administered Kashmir last month.

Pakistan said it would “respond to this [attack] at a time and place of its choosing… All of our air force jets are airborne. This is a shameful and cowardly attack that was carried out from within India’s airspace.”

UK had to ‘call out’ Israeli settlements in West Bank says foreign secretary | BBC News

Published

on



The UK had to “call out” Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank before it was “too late” to save the two-state solution, the foreign secretary has said.

Ed Milliband has announced the UK would ban the import of goods from Israeli settlements in the illegally occupied West Bank.

Israel has built around 160 settlements housing 700,000 people since then, despite all Israeli settlements in the West Bank being illegal under international law. Around 3.3 million Palestinians live alongside them.

Israel has responded with four “counter-measures” against the UK – including the closure of the UK consulate in Jerusalem, which is expected to shut in the next 30 days.
