Germany has called on India and Pakistan to avoid further escalation and protect civilians following deadly cross-border missile strikes between the two nations.
Germany called on India and Pakistan to exercise restraint and prevent further escalation following India’s missile strikes and Pakistan’s retaliatory action.
“After the horrific terrorist attack in Kashmir and the Indian military response, there is an urgent need for both countries to act responsibly,” Germany’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement posted on social media.
“Escalation must be prevented and civilians must be protected,” the ministry added, noting that Berlin is in contact with both governments and is closely monitoring the situation. Germany’s Crisis Response Team is expected to convene later in the day to assess the latest developments.
German citizens in both India and Pakistan have been urged to adhere to official travel and safety advisories and to keep their contact details updated in the government’s crisis prevention registry.
Earlier, India confirmed launching overnight missile strikes on what it described as “nine terrorist locations” across cities in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. According to the Pakistani military, six sites were struck, resulting in 31 deaths - including five in Pakistani-administered Kashmir - and 46 injuries.
