Tricky and deep question

None

In the following diagram we have 2 wires carrying current and they are not welded.

Now anaylyse the force on the wires due to each other and see that the reaction is not equal to action. Even the direction of force is not same.

Is this a violation of Newton's 3rd law or if it is not where is the lost momentum
