India and Pakistan have traded hostilities this week, with Islamabad saying it shot down two Indian warplanes and New Delhi insisting the count of downed aircraft is 1-1. Washington urged the two states to avoid further escalation and endorsed India’s recent bombing raid on a terror camp inside Pakistan.
Pakistani Ambassador to the US Asad Majeed Khan said that Washington’s failure to condemn India for the recent airstrike on Pakistan has played into the hands of New Delhi.
