In an escalating series of border confrontations, Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif announced ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalating tensions with India. The Pakistani government is in daily contact with key regional powers including Iran, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, China, and Qatar.
Conflict took a new turn as both nations engaged in drone exchanges. While Asif described India's drone activities as reconnaissance, India countered with accusations that Pakistan launched over 300 drones targeting Indian military positions. The tensions have worsened since India's Operation Sindoor, executed in retaliation for a cross-border attack in Pahalgam.
The diplomatic landscape remains tense with high-level visits from Saudi Arabia and Iran seeking to mediate. Indian and Pakistani officials are concurrently addressing international agreements, exemplified by the controversy surrounding the Indus Waters Treaty and newly imposed punitive measures by India. Meanwhile, Pakistan remains on high alert domestically, preparing for potential escalations.
