New Delhi [India], May 7 (ANI): Senior Indian officials have spoken to their counterparts in a number of countries, including the US, UK, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Russia, to brief them on the
Operation Sindoor
that targeted terror infrastructure in
Pakistan
in retaliation against
Pahalgam
terror attack that left 26 killed, said sources in the government.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State
Marco Rubio
said on Wednesday that he is closely monitoring the situation between India and
Pakistan
, following Indian missile strikes on multiple sites in
Pakistan
.
In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), Rubio said, “I am monitoring the situation between India and
Pakistan
closely. I echo President Trump’s comments earlier today that this hopefully ends quickly and will continue to engage both Indian and
Pakistan
i leadership towards a peaceful resolution.”
His remarks follow those of President Donald Trump, who earlier in the day acknowledged the reports of the Indian strikes and expressed hope that tensions would de-escalate swiftly.
“We just heard about it as we were walking through the doors of the Oval. 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. And centuries, actually, if you think about it. I hope it ends very quickly,” Trump said.
The US State Department also addressed the situation, though refrained from making a detailed assessment. A spokesperson told ANI, “We are aware of the reports, however we have no assessment to offer at this time. This remains an evolving situation, and we are closely monitoring developments.”
