The statement further read: “He calls for maximum military restraint from both countries. The world cannot afford a military confrontation between India and Pakistan.”

Meanwhile, FM Ishaq Dar has denounced India’s attacks as a “flagrant violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty”.

“It has jeopardized regional peace,” the foreign minister wrote on X, adding that the country would defend its “sovereignty & territorial integrity by all means”.

“Pakistan strongly condemns India’s aggression, which is flagrant violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty, the UN Charter & international law. It has jeopardized regional peace. Pakistan reserves the right to respond as per Article 51 of the UN Charter”, the statement added.

On the other hand, a state of emergency has been imposed across Punjab and in areas surrounding the Karachi Airport.
