World on the brink as Pakistan 'kills 40-50 Indian soldiers' in bloody fighting

Pakistan's information minister has claimed that its soldiers have killed 40-50 Indian soldiers by destroying military installations on the border in Kashmir. "We have blown their [Indian] military installations on the de facto border," Attuallah Tarar said.

Speaking on The World, Tarar labelled India as the "aggressor" and vowed to respond to Indian attacks on Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The Indian military launched the attacks as part of "Operation Sindoor" as part of a plan to hold those responsible for a terrorist attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir on April 22. If true, the deaths of as many as 50 Indian soldiers would represent a significant escalation in the latest conflict between the two nuclear armed powers.
