UN chief Antonio Guterres has called on India and Pakistan to exercise "maximum restraint" and take "immediate steps to de-escalate tensions following the Pulwama terror attack, reiterating that his good offices are available if asked by both sides.
The already sour relations between India and Pakistan have worsened over the past week as New Delhi blamed Islamabad for the Pulwama attack by Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed in which 40 CRPF personnel were killed. Both countries have called back their envoys for "consultations."
