Pahalgam Terror Attack: UN Urges Maximum Restraint By India, Pakistan, Calls To Avoid Diplomatic Standoff

“United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is following the situation between India and Pakistan “very closely and with very great concern” and appeals to both governments to exercise maximum restraint and ensure no further deterioration,” his spokesperson said.

“We were very clear in our condemnation of the terror attack that occurred in Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22, two days ago, which killed a large number of civilians,” Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for the Secretary-General, said at the daily press briefing on Thursday (April 24, 2025.)

Mr. Dujarric was responding to a question on whether Mr. Guterres has had any contact with the governments of India and Pakistan amid escalating tensions in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 civilians were killed.
