LLAW’s NUCLEAR WORLD NEWS TODAY and the GLOBAL RISKS & CONSEQUENCES TOMORROW
In My Opinion:
Both India and Pakistan have nuclear weapons of mass destruction that were, fortunately, not used in this missile attack from India directed at Pakistan. Let us hope that this single strike gives pause to the two neighboring countries about further attacks that could lead to the use of nuclear weapons of mass destruction sparking the already tense risk of an international war that would inflame other nuclear war threats that are just a single nuclear missile launch away. Yes, one nuclear-armed missile from jus one of the nine nuclear-armed countries is sufficient to cause the beginning — and the end — of all future wars.
A nuclear World War III would likely be the end of humanity as we know it and most all other life on planet Earth. Why would we want to do this to ourselves and create an entirely unnecessary world-wide “armageddon -like” conflict that would be no benefit to humankind or anything else on Earth? There seems to be something collectively seriously wrong with us . . . ~llaw

India launched strikes into several parts of Pakistan and Pakistani-controlled territory early Wednesday in a dramatic escalation of tensions between the two nuclear-armed rivals.
In an assault India dubbed Operation Sindoor, the Indian military said it struck nine sites in “Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed.”
The Indian Embassy in Washington, D.C., wrote in a statement posted on social media that the military action was “focused and precise.” “Only known terror camps were targeted,” it said.

Homes destroyed and 1,500 detained in Kashmir as India cracks down following attacks
Later Wednesday, the death toll in Pakistan had reached 31, The Associated Press reported, while at least seven people died in Indian-controlled Kashmir. Several Indian airlines have canceled flights to the region.
Latest tensions were triggered by April 22 attacks
Tensions have been on the rise between India and Pakistan since April 22, when gunmen killed at least 26 tourists and injured a dozen others in India-administered Kashmir. India accused Pakistan of involvement in the attack — the worst aimed at Indian civilians in more than a decade. The Indian Defense Ministry said the overnight strikes on Pakistan were in response to the Kashmir killings.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned India’s attacks and vowed that Pakistan would respond forcefully.

“Pakistan has every right to respond forcefully to this act of war imposed by India, and a forceful response is being given,” Sharif said on social media. “The Pakistani nation and the Pakistani armed forces know how to deal with the enemy. We will never allow the enemy to succeed in their nefarious goals.”
President Trump was asked about the attack by a reporter at the White House.
“It’s a shame, we just heard about it just as we were walking in the doors of the Oval,” Trump said. “They’ve been fighting for a long time,” he said. “I just hope it ends very quickly.”
The United Nations secretary-general’s spokesperson, Stéphane Dujarric, said the U.N. chief called for “maximum military restraint” from both India and Pakistan, saying the world cannot afford a war between them.
