When asked whether the calls for de-escalation were being heeded, Bruce responded, “We are asking for a responsible resolution from both parties. And beyond that, there's nothing I can give you, any other details.”

These include suspending the Indus Water Treaty, shutting down the Integrated Check Post at Attari, and cutting the strength of Pakistan’s High Commission staff. The Indian Army has also responded to multiple ceasefire violations by Pakistani forces across the Line of Control (LoC), with recent incidents reported in Kupwara, Poonch, Tutmari Gali and Rampur sectors.
