June 2014 North west Pakistan airstrikes

edit

On 10 June, Pakistani security forces carried out aerial strikes in Tirah Valley of Khyber Agency in the northwestern tribal areas next to the Afghan border, during which nine militant hideouts were destroyed and at least 25 militants were killed[1][2][3][4]. The aerial strikes were conducted in the wake of the attack, and were an extension of a campaign of military operations against militants being conducted since the past few months.[2][1] The area was believed to be used as a shelter for several anti-state militant factions and foreign fighters from Central Asia.[1][3]

On 11 June, the Army decided to intensify air strikes on militant hideouts following a conference between top military commanders at the General Headquarters, Rawalpindi.[5][6]

On the early hours of Thursday 12 June, the U.S. conducted two successive drone strikes near Miramshah in North Waziristan, after a nearly six-month break in US drone campaigns in the tribal areas of northwest Pakistan. The drone strikes killed 16 suspected militants. According to a Pakistani intelligence sources, the militants killed included four Uzbeks, a few key Afghan Taliban commanders and members, and two members of TTP Punjab.[7][8]

On 15 June, Pakistan Air Force fighter jets bombed eight militant hideouts in North Waziristan, during which at least 105 militants[9][6] (or up to 150 according to other official sources)[10] were killed according to security officials. Most of those killed during the strikes were Uzbek fighters, as the targets were predominantly Uzbek hideouts, and the dead included insurgents linked to the airport attack.[10] Military and intelligence sources confirmed the presence of foreign and local militants in the hideouts before the military operation. Abu Abdur Rehman Almani, a key Uzbek militant commander and a mastermind of the attack, was also reported killed. Some foreign militants from the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, a Uyghur separatist group from western China, were also among the dead.[11][6]

The Scramble of Lacccadives was a military race between Pakistan Navy and Indian authorities in Travancore to reach the islands of Lakshadweep and annex the territory which took place in late August 1947. Both countries deployed naval vessels but the indian authorities were able to reach first annexing the islands.

Background

edit

The Aminidivi islands under the rule of Tipu Sultan of Mysore Kingdom in 1787 were annexed to the British Raj in 1799 after the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War. The rest of the islands remained under the suzerainty of the Arakkal family in return for a payment of annual tribute.[100] The British took over the administration of those islands in 1908 for nonpayment of arrears and attached it to the Madras Presidency.[101] As Lacccadives were not a separate entity so they weren't considered during the Partition of India and thus their status was unclear so Pakistan attempted to take hold of these islands.[102]

Race for Lacccadives

edit

At the end of August, 1947, Liaquat Ali Khan, came to realisation that Lacccadives, a region with Muslim majority didn't become a part of Pakistan and could be taken control of with ease. The Deputy Prime Minister of India, Vallabhbhai Patel, also started to think about Lacccadives.[102][103][104]

So , the Royal Pakistan Navy sent a naval vessel towards Lacccadives from Karachi. In India Vallabhbhai Patel was informed about the plannings in Karachi. He immediately sent collector of Travancore to Lacccadives.[102][103][104] He also sent a message to Mudaliar brothers to convey the collector of Travancore to order the police officials to go to Lacccadives with available weaponry. Vallabhbhai Patel stated “If the police forces no firearms with them, they can take lathis with them but somehow take possession of the area.” [105] and the Flag of India was raised.[102]


A few hours later, Pakistani warship reached and had to return on seeing the Indian flag flying.[102][103][104]

Aftermath

edit

The islands were annexed into the Dominion of India and became part of the Madras State under the Constitution of India in 1950.[106] In 1956, the islands which were had been divided between the South Canara and Malabar districts of Madras state, was organized into a separate union territory administered by the Government of India, following the States Reorganisation Act.[107][108] The territory which was known as Laccadive, Minicoy, and Amindivi Islands became Lakshadweep islands on 1 November 1973.

Shortly afterwards, the Wall Street Journal reported a Ukrainian Defense Ministry statement that the ship was still flying the Ukrainian flag in port in Crete.[120] According to the Defense Ministry, the commander of the ship stated that the crew had never defected to the Russians.[121] It arrived in Odesa under the Ukrainian flag on 5 March.[122]

On 14 March 2014, the brigade's flagship Hetman Sahaidachny encountered a Russian naval group attempting to enter or having entered Ukrainian territorial waters. As Hetman Sahaidachny approached the group, they withdrew.[123]

Smetliviy was forced to retreat.[125][126][127]

At the beginning of April 2017, missile boat of the regiment Pryluky took part in an exercise "PASSEX" with TCG Gaziantep and TCG Heybeliada of the Turkish Navy.[128]

On 31st December 2017, a smuggling ship under Tanzania flag was detected in the Black Sea on way to Kurortne travelling within Ukrainian waters so the regiment's missile boat Pryluky began its pursuit as it could not escape it finally contacted Pryluky only to refuse orders by the Ukrainian Navy, so Pryluky opened fire, Akkerman and Berdyansk along with Ukrainian Sea Guard and Security Service of Ukraine provided reinforcements and the Tanzanian vessel was taken to Odessa.[129]

On March 3, 2022 , during the Russian Invasion of Ukraine the division's flagship Hetman Sahaidachny was partially sunk by the order of commander. Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said that the reason for the sinking was so that the ship, undergoing repairs, shouldn't fall into the hands of the Russians.[139][140][141][142][143] On the same day, while conducting reconnaissance near the area of the Kinburn Spit, the engine room of the division's vessel Sloviansk was hit by an Kh-31 missile[144] and it began to sink.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Washington would provide its "full support" to Israel, with guided missile launchers and F-35 fighter jets among the equipment being sent.[319] On October 12, Biden administration started preparing an aid package of about $2 billion in additional funding to support Israel.[320] On October 14, the Pentagon had dispatched a small team of Special Operations personnel to Israel for intelligence gathering.[321] On October 15, the White House declared that it would attempt to get congressional approval of a fresh $2 billion weaponry aid package for Israel and Ukraine.[322] By October 17, five shipments of American weapons and equipment had arrived in Israel.[319] On October 20, Biden announced that the additional funds he asked Congress to authorize would come to a total of $14 billion, as part of a $105 billion military aid package that addressed Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel as well as US border security.[323]
