UN Secretary-General António Guterres has expressed deep concern over the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan. Following recent military operations along the Line of Control and international border, Guterres called for maximum restraint from both countries, warning that a military confrontation would have tragic consequences. He emphasized that the world cannot afford a conflict between these two nations.
Guterres’ spokesperson, Stephane Dujarric, stated that the Secretary-General is deeply concerned about the situation and urged both countries to avoid further escalation. This statement comes after India launched “Operation Sindoor,” targeting multiple locations in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab, resulting in civilian casualties and damage.
In response, Pakistan destroyed several Indian warplanes, drones, and military check posts. The conflict has led to displacement, infrastructure damage, and fuel shortages in affected areas, with dozens of families seeking shelter in temporary camps. World leaders and international organizations have expressed deep concerns over the escalating tensions, highlighting the risk of mass displacement and disruption of critical infrastructure
