    UN Chief Speaks With India, Pakistan Amid Escalating Tensions Post Pahalgam Attack | N18G

    ollowing the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 26 civilians—mostly tourists—tensions have sharply escalated between India and Pakistan. The United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres strongly condemned the attack and warned that a conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbors would have catastrophic global consequences. He personally contacted Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, urging de-escalation and emphasizing his firm stance against terrorism. India has blamed cross-border elements for the attack and taken several diplomatic and strategic steps, including downgrading ties with Pakistan, suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, and closing the Attari land-transit post. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has vowed the “harshest response” and granted the armed forces full operational freedom. Meanwhile, Pakistan rejected India's accusations and called for a neutral investigation. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, fearing that further escalation could destabilize the region and threaten global security.
