What is the main conflict between India and Pakistan?
Indo-Pakistani War
The Indo-Pakistani War
of 1947 was fought over the accession of the princely state of Jammu and
Kashmir to India and resulted in a ceasefire with a front solidified along the
Line of Control...
The allegations came a day after India
again rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's offer to mediate the Kashmir
dispute between the two nuclear-armed countries.
Pakistan on Saturday accused rival India of
breaching international humanitarian laws by using "cluster munitions"
in the latest cross-border skirmishes in Kashmir, saying the weapons killed at
least two civilians and injured 11 others on the Pakistani side of the divided
region. statement by Pakistan's military said the civilian
casualties occurred July 31 in the scenic Neelum Valley near the Line
of Control (LoC), Cluster munitions are weapons consisting of a container that
opens in the air and scatters many explosive submunitions over a wide
area. The related global convention adopted in 2008 prohibits the use of
cluster munitions.
The Indian army rejected Pakistan’s accusations, saying, "Allegations of the firing of cluster bombs by India are yet another Pakistan lie, deceit and deception."
It alleged the Indian army used cluster ammunitions delivered by artillery in the valley, deliberately targeting the civilian population.

An army statement said the Pakistani army "regularly attempts to push terrorists through infiltration and opens up with a multitude of weapons to assist them" and that "such [Indian] responses are only against military targets and infiltrating terrorists who are aided by the Pakistan army." India accuses Pakistan of not doing enough to curb Islamic militants, which New Delhi says are trained in Pakistani territory and cross the Line of Control into Indian Kashmir.
