Escalating Tensions: India-Pakistan Conflict Sparks EU Mediation Efforts

The escalating tensions between India and Pakistan have drawn international concern, with the EU taking serious notice. Speaking ahead of a crucial meeting in Warsaw, EU's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas emphasized the dire need for de-escalation and mediation to avoid further conflict.

On Wednesday, tensions reached a boiling point as India launched missile strikes targeting Pakistan and Pakistani-administered Kashmir. In a swift retaliation, Pakistan claimed to have shot down five Indian aircraft, raising fears of the worst conflict between the two nuclear-armed nations in over two decades.

In an effort to prevent further escalation, the EU has stepped in to mediate the crisis. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, urging both nations to engage in dialogue and seek peaceful resolutions to their longstanding disputes.
