Pakistan’s foreign minister says Islamabad has credible intelligence that India is planning an attack between April 16 to April 20
Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi addresses a press conference in Multan on April 7, 2019. Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Sunday said his government had reliable intelligence that India was planning to carry out aggression against Pakistan between April 16 and 20.
“Pakistan has decided that 360 Indian prisoners – having breakup of 355 fishermen and five civilians, who have completed their term of sentence, will be released," Mohammad Faisal, spokesman for the Pakistan Foreign Office, told reporters. Due to the rocky relations between the two sides, prisoners who have completed their jail terms often languish in each other's jails for months, if not years, afterwards.
A US defense official said the agreement did not involve any terms limiting Pakistan's use of the F-16 jets. India had lost a jet on Pakistani territory that resulted in the capture of one its Air Force pilots on February 27, who was then handed back to New Delhi within a week as a goodwill gesture by Pakistan. Another Indian helicopter was also lost resulting in the deaths of several Indian Air Force personnel.
The Indian fire also killed a 70-year-old Pakistani villager in a remote area of Niaza Per on Monday evening, according to Pakistani police official Waheed Qureshi. "The Indian paper contains 91 pages and 6 parts, out of which only part 2 & 3 pertain to Pulwama incident. Other parts are generalized allegations. Pakistan is focusing on those parts which relate to Pulwama incident," Islamabad's foreign office statement said.
Police said the Central Reserve Police Force trooper opened fire on his colleagues with his service rifle at a camp in Udhampur, some 200 kilometres south of India-administered Kashmir's main city Srinagar. Separately on Thursday morning, an Indian soldier was killed when India and Pakistan again exchanged fire across the LoC near the southern area of Sundarbani, Indian army spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Devender Anand toldThe United States remains concerned about India-Pakistan tensions as the two countries' militaries remain on alert despite some de-escalation in the region, a senior US administration official said on Wednesday.
"This is a concern because that leads to a reaction and that reaction at times creates tensions in the region which must be avoided," Qureshi added.
