India reached out to several major countries early Wednesday (May 7), including the US, Russia, the UK, and Saudi Arabia, to brief them about the military strikes it conducted on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, PTI cited sources as saying.
“Senior Indian officials have informed their counterparts in numerous countries about the steps taken by India,” a source said.
The countries briefed include the US, the UK, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Russia.
The strikes were in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack , which occurred two weeks ago and sparked widespread outrage in India and abroad.
“These measures are in response to the barbaric Pahalgam terrorist attack in which 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen were killed,” the defence ministry said in a statement.
“We are committed to ensuring that those responsible for this attack are held accountable,” it said.
