As tensions between India and Pakistan escalate in the Jammu and Kashmir region, causing global concern, Turkey has provided significant military support to Pakistan. Despite the bloody attacks and rising tensions in the region, Turkey carried out a critical shipment to Pakistan.
Military Equipment Support with 6 Transport Aircraft
Turkey sent six transport aircraft carrying military equipment, including weapons, missiles, and UAVs, to Pakistan.
Pakistani officials described Turkey’s assistance as “quiet but real support,” adding, “Stay tuned.”
Tensions Escalate in Kashmir
The tensions were ignited by an attack in India’s Jammu and Kashmir region that resulted in the deaths of 26 tourists.
Following this attack, India took new measures against Pakistan, including a decision to cut off the flow of water resources.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated:
“Those disturbed by Kashmir’s development are trying to plunge the region back into chaos. However, justice will prevail.”
Harsh Response from Pakistan: “We Will Strike the Dam”
In response to India’s water cutoff decision, Pakistan issued a strong warning. Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, General Syed Asim Munir, openly warned India:
“If the water flow is not restored, we will strike the dam,” he said.
Additionally, the Pakistani government intensified its diplomatic engagements with China in a bid to seek regional support.
Ongoing Clashes
Clashes in the region continue unabated. The Indian Army reported that they responded to fire coming from the Pakistani border and that no casualties were reported on their side. Pakistan has yet to make an official statement regarding the clashes.
Turkey’s Strategic Support
Turkey’s critical military assistance could have a significant impact on the course of the Kashmir crisis. Experts note that such support strengthens Pakistan’s hand and could reshape the balance of power in the region.
