The US urges India to de-escalate tensions with Pakistan and emphasizes dialogue and counter-terrorism efforts. Pakistan recently launched missiles at Indian cities, prompting defense measures. India states it will respond to terrorist attacks in a measured manner but will firmly counter any attempts at escalation by Pakistan. Marco Rubio and S Jaishankar discuss the need for immediate de-escalation, as Pak fires missiles and drones at Indian military installations. Pak’s attacks are intercepted by Indian countermeasures, leading to air raid sirens and blackouts. The recent wave of attempted attacks by Pak follows precision strikes by Indian forces at terrorist camps in Pak and PoK. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh states over 100 terrorists were killed in the strikes as retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack.
