India has pledged not to escalate the situation with Pakistan, provided that the Pakistani side does the same, says Colonel Vyomika Singh on Saturday.
Shortly afterwards, similar tones came from Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar. The country can consider de-escalation if India stops its attacks on Pakistan, he says in Pakistani Geo News.
Earlier on Saturday, both countries have attacked each other.
India has with its naked aggression attacked with robots. Nur Khan base, Murid base, and Shorkot base have been targets, said Pakistani military spokesperson Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry in state TV on Saturday night.
Most of the robots have been shot down, he stated.
Nur Khan base in Rawalpindi, where the Pakistani military has its headquarters, is located about a mile from the capital Islamabad.
Weapon Depots and Air Bases
Pakistan announces that it has responded with its own robot attacks on India. An Indian weapon depot for robots as well as Indian air bases in Pathankot and Udhampur have been identified as targets by Pakistan's military, which claims to have been attacked with ballistic robots.
Pakistan's aviation authority announces on Saturday that the country's airspace will be closed for the next 24 hours.
Powerful explosions have been heard during the night at several locations, including the cities of Srinagar, Jammu, and Udhampur, reports AP with reference to eyewitness accounts.
Fourth Day of Violence
This is the fourth day of escalated military violence between the two nuclear nations.
Tensions have increased sharply after a massacre of tourists on April 22 in the Indian-controlled part of the long-disputed Kashmir region.
India accuses Pakistan of having supported the perpetrators, which is denied by the country.
On Wednesday night, India carried out an air strike against what the country describes as terrorist targets, in response to the massacre. The two nuclear nations have exchanged several deadly attacks since then.
The reports from both parties are difficult to verify.
