UN Security Council urges India-Pakistan talks on Kashmir conflict
The United Nations Security Council has called on India and Pakistan to ease tensions and avoid military confrontation after an attack in Kashmir killed 26 Hindu tourists. Pakistan, which initiated the meeting, cited intelligence of an imminent Indian strike an allegation India has not confirmed. In response to rising hostilities, both countries have taken provocative steps such as missile tests, civil defense measures, and diplomatic downgrades, prompting global alarm over the risk of escalation between the nuclear-armed neighbors as the international community continues to urge dialogue and restraint to prevent further destabilization of the region.
