New York: United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has expressed deep concern over India's recent missile strikes targeting multiple locations in Pakistan and Azad Jammu & Kashmir, calling for maximum military restraint from both sides.
According to Turkey's Anadolu Agency, Guterres' spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric issued a statement highlighting the Secretary-General’s alarm over India’s military actions along the Line of Control (LoC) and the international border.
"The Secretary-General urges both India and Pakistan to exercise maximum restraint. The world cannot afford a military escalation between the two nuclear-armed neighbors," said Dujarric.

Guterres’ remarks came shortly after the Indian military launched 24 missile attacks under “Operation Sandur,” striking six sites across Pakistan and Azad Jammu & Kashmir.
In response to the aggression, Pakistan reportedly launched retaliatory strikes, destroying five Indian fighter jets—including a Rafale aircraft—multiple drones, and several border posts.
