The United Nations has called for “maximum restraint” from India and Pakistan following the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, that claimed 26 lives on April 22.
As stated by Hindustan Times, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric condemned the attack and emphasized the need for peaceful resolution of disputes through “meaningful mutual engagement.”
“We appeal to both governments to ensure the situation does not deteriorate further,” Dujarric said during a press briefing.
The Pahalgam incident marks one of the deadliest attacks in the region since the 2019 Pulwama bombing, further escalating tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
