Global leaders have expressed deep concern following India’s launch of “Operation Sindoor,” targeting several sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The strikes, aimed at alleged terrorist training camps, were met with Pakistan’s claims of downing Indian jets and attacking Indian army positions. The situation has led to at least 36 casualties overnight.
World powers are urging both sides to de-escalate tensions. US President Donald Trump called the situation a “shame” and hoped for a quick end to the conflict, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized the need for a peaceful resolution. The United Nations and France also called for maximum restraint, with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warning that a military confrontation between India and Pakistan would be catastrophic for global peace.
