Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif urged UN chief Antonio Guterres on Tuesday to “counsel India” to exercise restraint, his office said, after a deadly attack in Indian-administered Kashmir has seen New Delhi vow action against those responsible and accuse Pakistan of involvement.

“While underscoring that Pakistan shall defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity with full force in case of any misadventure by India, the Prime Minister encouraged the UN Secretary-General to counsel India to act responsibly and exercise restraint,” Sharif’s office said in a statement, repeating Pakistan’s rejection of India’s allegations.
