In a note to correspondents issued by his spokesperson on Tuesday, Secretary-General António Guterres called for military restraint from both countries.
“The world cannot afford a military confrontation between India and Pakistan,” the note said.
On Monday, the Secretary-General had warned that the tensions between the two South Asian neighbours had reached “their highest in years.”
He offered his good offices to both governments to help defuse tensions and promote diplomacy, stressing that “a military solution is no solution.”
