How world leaders are reacting to India-Pakistan military attacks

There has been global consternation in the wake of India launching “Operation Sindoor”, hitting multiple locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir that New Delhi alleges are “terrorist” training sites.

In response, Islamabad claimed it struck Indian army positions and shot down several warplanes, calling India’s attacks “an act of war”.United States President Donald Trump
“It’s a shame. Just heard about it. I guess people knew something was going to happen based on a little bit of the past. They’ve been fighting for a long time. They’ve been fighting for many, many decades. I hope it ends very quickly,” Trump said.

The US administration said it was closely following the military escalation in South Asia.

“I am monitoring the situation between India and Pakistan closely. I echo @POTUS’s comments earlier today that this hopefully ends quickly and will continue to engage both Indian and Pakistani leadership towards a peaceful resolution,” Rubio posted on X.
