Reference News website reported on May 9th according to a Reuters report on May 9th, the Indian government issued an order on the 8th requiring all ports, shipping terminals, and shipyards to strengthen security measures. Currently, the tensions between India and its neighboring country Pakistan are escalating.
Other reports said that on the 9th, India and Pakistan mutually accused each other of launching new military attacks. The most intense fighting between these two South Asian neighboring countries in nearly 30 years entered its third day, during which drones and artillery were used.
Since India attacked multiple locations within Pakistan on the 7th, these two long-time rivals have been in conflict.
The Indian military stated on the 9th that the Pakistani army had "violated the ceasefire agreement multiple times" near the actual control line between the two countries in Kashmir. Both India and Pakistan claim full sovereignty over the Kashmir region.
Pakistan's Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting, Athar Talal, stated that the Indian military's statement was "groundless and misleading," and that Pakistan had not taken any "offensive actions" against the Indian-controlled areas of Kashmir or beyond the border.
According to AFP's report on May 9th, Pakistani government officials stated on the 9th that the Indian army shelled the Pakistani-controlled Kashmir region on the night of the 8th, resulting in five civilian deaths. Previously, the two countries had engaged in continuous days of exchanges of fire.
The death incident occurred near the actual control line in Kashmir.
"The Indian army shelled civilian areas... causing four deaths, including a 2-year-old girl, with another 12 people injured," said Adil Khan, an official from the Godali police station. He added that the shelling continued until late at night.
"In response, the Pakistani army conducted strong counterattacks, targeting three Indian outposts across the actual control line." (Translated by Chen Xin)
