Pakistan has formally informed the United Nations Security Council of its right to respond to recent Indian airstrikes, according to a report by Reuters.
The Pakistani Foreign Ministry earlier stated that the Islamic Republic reserves the right to invoke Article 51 of the UN Charter, which allows for self-defense in response to acts of aggression. The ministry emphasized that Pakistan may respond "at any time and place of its choosing."
UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called on both India and Pakistan to exercise maximum restraint.
