Moscow is deeply concerned over the rising military tensions between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, commenting on the latest escalation between India and Pakistan.
“We are deeply concerned by the heightened military tensions between India and Pakistan in the wake of a terror attack near the town of Pahalgam,” the diplomat said, TASS reported.
According to Zakharova, “Russia resolutely condemns acts of terrorism as it opposes any manifestations of it and accentuates the need to join forces globally for an effective fight against this evil.”
