Where do you live, STEVEN?!

 

It’s good you are getting a break away from the utter drivel you’ve been posting relentlessly on POTUS. 
Pretty sure it was an are you employed or self employed type of question to gain some perspective when he was lecturing everyone on the rights and wrongs of crew cab pick up ownership or as the daft bugger calls them “ vanity vans “ talking of which how’s the Hilux going ??, surely a better work tool than a wanked out Passat estate. Hopefully you didn’t get “ taxed into oblivion “ for using it at work.

Summary

It’s 11.30am in Delhi and 11am in Islamabad. Here’s where things stand:

• India has conducted what it has described as “precision strikes” in neighbouring Pakistan and Pakistani-controlled Kashmir, days after it blamed Islamabad for a deadly attack on the Indian side of the contested region that killed 26 people.

• Twenty-six people, including a child, were killed in the overnight missile strikes and 46 others have been injured, according to a Pakistani military spokesperson.

• The Indian government said in a statement that nine non-military targets had been hit in the strikes, in what it called “Operation Sindoor.” India said it struck nine Pakistani “terrorist infrastructure” sites, some of them linked to the attack by Islamist militants in Indian Kashmir last month. Pakistan has refuted this, saying none of the targets were militant camps.

• New Delhi said its actions had been “focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature”. It had displayed “considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution”, it added. The Indian army, in a video on X, said “justice is served.”

• Both countries also exchanged intense shelling and heavy gunfire across much of their de facto border in the Himalayan region of Kashmir, police and witnesses told Reuters. Indian police and medics have said at least seven civilians were killed and 30 others wounded by Pakistani firing and shelling overnight.

• Pakistan’s prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif said the “deceitful enemy has carried out cowardly attacks at five locations in Pakistan” and that his country would retaliate. “Pakistan has every right to give a robust response to this act of war imposed by India, and a strong response is indeed being given,” Sharif said.

• Sharif has convened a meeting of the National Security Committee for Wednesday morning. He said his country and its forces “know very well how to deal with the enemy. . … We will never let the enemy succeed in its nefarious objectives.”

• Pakistan says five Indian air force jets were shot down, a claim not confirmed by India. However, four local government sources in Indian Kashmir told Reuters that three fighter jets had crashed in separate areas of the region during the night.

• The United Nations has called for maximum restraint from both India and Pakistan. “The secretary-general [António Guterres] is very concerned about the Indian military operations across the Line of Control and international border. He calls for maximum military restraint from both countries,” the spokesperson said. “The world cannot afford a military confrontation between India and Pakistan.”

• The development marks a dramatic escalation in the long-simmering conflict between the neighbouring nuclear powers. Bilateral ties between the two countries plummeted after gunmen killed 26 mainly Hindu civilians in Indian-administered Kashmir last month.

• Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, on Tuesday warned that water from India flowing into neighbouring countries including Pakistan would be stopped, days after suspending a key water treaty with Islamabad.

Always been a bit tetchy at the Indian - Pakistan border but this takes it up a notch I think. What started them escalating things?

JD Vance visiting of course. Don't you read the news? Or at least, view it through the lens of popular memes?

Ahh, the grim reaper!

 

 

Though now I've woken up - coffee - looks like retaliation backwards and forwards from the attacks the other week that killed the tourists... and so should settle down in a week or so once that can go back to their people and say "that showed them"

Well done Labour 😞

Meanwhile a few miles east and it’s all guns blazing in the Norwegian sector.
