Updates: India and Pakistan accuse each other of waves of drone attacks
Pakistan has denied that it launched attacks tonight in the Indian cities of Pathankot and Jaisalmer, and Srinagar in Indian-administered Kashmir. The Reuters news agency, citing an unnamed Indian official, reported that there were attacks in Akhnoor, Samba, Kathua and multiple other locations in Jammu in Indian-administered Kashmir. India also claimed that military stations in Jammu, Pathankot and Udhampur, which are close to the border between India and Pakistan, have been targeted by Pakistan using missiles and drones, the country’s Integrated Defence Staff stated. Indian media reported that a Pakistani air force pilot was captured by Indian security forces after ejecting from his fighter jet over the city of Jaisalmer. Some Pakistani officials denied the incident.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in calls with leaders of both India and Pakistan, “emphased the need for immediate de-escalation”, US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said. India’s civil aviation ministry said that 24 airports in the country will be closed for civil flights as tensions with Pakistan escalate. Pakistan had also closed airports today, with Karachi later reopening, according to the Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA).
Although it is "none of our business," tensions between India and Pakistan should be defused: US Vice President Vance
Washington wants to see the situation between India and Pakistan "de-escalate," but it is "fundamentally none of our business," according to US Vice President JD Vance.
In an interview with Fox News, Vance, a supporter of US disengagement from foreign conflicts, stated, "What we can do is try to encourage these folks to de-escalate a little bit, but we're not going to get involved in the middle of a war that's fundamentally none of our business and has nothing to do with America's ability to control it."
