UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres remains “very concerned” about India’s military operation against Pakistan, saying “the world cannot afford a confrontation between the two countries”, according to his Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric.

In the aftermath of India’s military strikes on nine identified terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir under Operation Sindoor, a wave of misinformation has emerged from Pakistani media and government-affiliated sources.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday that he is closely monitoring the situation between India and Pakistan, following Indian missile strikes on multiple sites in Pakistan.
