China has issued a strong appeal to India and Pakistan to avoid further escalation following recent cross-border missile strikes.
Voicing “deep concern,” China’s Foreign Ministry stated: “We strongly urge both sides to act in the larger interest of peace and stability, exercise calm and restraint, return to the track of political settlement through peaceful means, and refrain from any action that could further escalate tensions.”
This statement follows Pakistan’s announcement of “Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos” (Iron Wall), which involved the launch of Al-Fatah missiles targeting India in response to New Delhi’s “Operation Sindoor” on May 6 inside Pakistan—an attack that reportedly left 33 dead and 62 injured, according to the Pakistani military.
