UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has once again reiterated his call for Pakistan and India to seek a resolution of the latest conflict and de-escalate tensions lest they threaten the peace and prosperity of the region. On February 24, the Indian Air Force (IAF) violated Pakistani airspace on February 26 following the Pulwama attack in Indian occupied Kashmir. The IAF returned unsuccessful after the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) “immediately scrambled” its jets. PAF the next day, on Feb 27, targeted non-military targets across the Line of Control to demonstrate Pakistan’s aggressive capabilities, and shot down two Indian Air Force jets after they crossed the LoC. An Indian Air Force pilot, Wing Commander Abhinandan, was taken into captivity of Pakistan’s armed forces.
