US urges India, Pakistan to cease cross-border military activity, de-escalate situation
Washington: A day after Indian Air Force attacked training camps across the Line of Control in Pakistan and Pakistan also retaliated, the US State Department asks India and Pakistan to cease all cross-border military activity and work on returning to stability.
It further urged both sides to take immediate steps to de-escalate the situation, including direct communication.
“Cross-border terrorism, such as recent attack on India’s CRPF, poses grave threat to security of the area. We reiterate our call for Pakistan to abide by its United Nations Security Council commitments to deny terrorists a safe haven and block their access to funds,” US State Department tells ANI.
“Further military activity will exacerbate situation,” it added.
