Srinagar, May 8, KNT: UN ceasefire observers stationed along both sides of the Line of Control in Kashmir are safe and accounted for despite recent Indian missile strikes and Pakistani shelling, a UN spokesperson said.
Stephanie Tremblay, associate spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, said the UN peacekeeping mission, known as UNMOGIP, has confirmed the safety of its 44 military and 75 civilian personnel deployed in the region.
The reassurance comes after India launched “Operation Sindoor,” striking nine sites in Pakistan in response to the Pahalgam massacre, in which 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed deep concern, urging both countries to show restraint, warning that the world cannot afford a military confrontation between India and Pakistan. [KNT]
