Jammu and Kashmir: Blast Kills 40 in India soldiers
- Thread starter UKPakistani
- Start date
Surgical Strike did not create any global political impact and if there were some people who believed in such strikes the recent attack has certainly shattered their confidence because Indian assertion of destroying the "terrorist apparatus" on Pakistani side has been proved untrue by this attack.
On the International plane, things are on our side. India will not be able to get enough space internationally. Trump wants to get out from Afghanistan before Presidential elections. They need us as much as China and Russia.
This attack seems to be the reaction of Indian help for PTM. I may be wrong but I see a covert intelligence war between India and Pakistan which will further deteriorate the relations. I think limited border skirmishes are possible.

Who can SEE through this facade of terrorist act of RAW to save his election defeat.
An out cast Hindu TERRORIST of GUJJRAT in his desperation might do something foolish.

At least 37 Indian paramilitary soldiers were killed on Thursday in occupied Kashmir in the deadliest attack on security forces since 2002, police said.
The attack, surpassing one in 2016 when 19 soldiers died, saw explosives packed inside a van rip through buses in a convoy of 78 vehicles carrying some 2,500 members of the paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).
Two blue buses carrying around 35 people each bore the brunt of the explosion around 20 kilometres from the main city of Srinagar on the main highway towards Jammu.
The Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency reported that at least 39 people were dead, while other press reports said the number could exceed 40.
Some of the bodies were so badly blown up that officials feel it may take some time to identity them, PTI reported. The convoy was bringing the troopers back from leave to rejoin active service.
It was unclear whether the van containing the explosives was driven into the convoy or whether it was detonated when the buses were adjacent.
“It was a powerful explosion. The explosive was car-borne,” CRPF spokesman Sanjay Kumar told AFP.

Photos showed the blackened, mangled remains of at least one vehicle littered across the highway.
Unconfirmed photos showed the charred remains of at least one vehicle littered across the highway as black smoke billowed upwards.
Reports said that there were 350 kilos of explosives used.
Meanwhile, The Hindu reported the toll as 40 soldiers killed and four injured.
The blast took place in the Lethpora area of south Kashmir's Pulwama on Thursday afternoon and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) has claimed responsibility, saying it was a suicide attack, according to the publication.
"A convoy in which the soldiers were travelling was attacked by a JeM suicide bomber, who rammed his explosives-laden vehicle into one of the convoy’s buses," reported The Hindu.
According to The Hindu, he was identified as Adil Ahmad Dar alias ‘Waqas Commando’, a resident of Pulwama’s Kakapora.
After the attack, hundreds of government forces cordoned around 15 villages in the district the bomber came from and started searching house-to-house, a police officer and witnesses said.
India has an estimated 500,000 soldiers in Kashmir, which has been divided between India and Pakistan and riven by unrest since the end of British rule in 1947.
Kashmiris have been fighting for an independent Kashmir, or a merger with Pakistan, since 1989.
New Delhi accuses Pakistan of fuelling the uprising that has left tens of thousands of civilians dead. Islamabad denies the charge, saying it only provides diplomatic support to Kashmiris' right to self-determination.

Look how India's famous newspaper cautioning Indian government to be very careful in response . They know that it can escalate into something big which India may not be able to handle. They are scared that their soldiers may die in large numbers . They have written that " Soldiers will be the boots on the ground, but they don’t deserve to die "

"Editorial | The Centre must choose options carefully (HindustanTimes)
"
The prime minister and his colleagues are already speaking in terms of an “unforgettable response”. The government — any government, for that matter — has the right to choose its response. New Delhi must, however, remember that the surgical strikes of 2016, to avenge the Uri deaths, had little impact on the ground reality in the Valley, particularly in South Kashmir, which was the epicentre of yesterday’s attack. The Jaish, headquartered in Pakistan, has for long targeted India. It was also responsible for the terror attack in Pathankot in 2016. On Thursday, the terror organisation used a local Kashmiri recruit for its suicide attack.
Restraint is not easy when security personnel are killed in such large numbers, but it is important that the Centre draws a fine line. It must definitely use the proverbial stick to go after terrorists. At the same time, it must not forget that politics lies at the heart of the insurgency. Soldiers will be the boots on the ground, but they don’t deserve to die. While the government prepares its response, it must also pay heed to the rather ominous reality of locals being willing to turn their bodies into missiles. "

It makes no sense at all that Modi would do this! He has a lot at stake now. It's something else.
An armed conflict is out of the question as retaliation, and Congress would treat it as Modi's cowardice that will go against him!

this news is also spread by bharti media that "jeesh Mohammadi" has accepted responsibility for this attack.
what a stupid statement, that after making kashmir as a biggest jail on earth, and all the barbed wires and fences of LOC, where no one can go inside kashmir, still bharati propagandist are having the same rhetoric of bharti propaganda about jeesh mohammadi. any incident which will happen in kashmir or anyother place in bharat, their propagandist anchors and media and govt will blame pakistan, jeesh mohammadi, hafiz saeed etc etc. as if there are angels living in bharat and they do not carry such incidents.
