UN chief urges India-Pakistan maximum restraint
Guterres "reiterates his urgent appeal to both the Governments of India and Pakistan to exercise maximum restraint to ensure that the situation does not further deteriorate," the spokesperson added.
UNITED STATES: United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday appealed to Pakistan and India for "maximum restraint" in the wake of the airspace violations by Indian warplanes along the Line of Control (LoC).
"The Secretary-General is closely following the situation," Stephane Dujarric, the spokesperson, said in response to a question at the regular noon briefing at the UN Headquarters in New York.
To a question about India's claims of heavy casualties on the Pakistani side, Guterres said the UN had nothing on it.
Meanwhile, Pakistan's Ambassador to the UN, Maleeha Lodhi, delivered a letter, penned by Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi and addressed to the UN Secretary-General at his office.
The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) also condemned the Indian violations of airspace along the LoC by the Indian warplanes.
