Earlier, US President Donald Trump had said the on-going conflict will “hopefully end soon.” “We have reasonably attractive news from Pakistan and India. There has been a lot of dislike, unfortunately. They have been going at it and we have been involved trying to have them stop. I think hopefully that it’s going to come to an end,” Trump said in Hanoi where he was meeting North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.

India on Tuesday conducted non-military preemptive air strikes on a terror camp in Balakot. A day later, Pakistani jets violated Indian airspace and attempted strikes in Jammu and Kashmir. India said that the attack was foiled successfully and a MiG fighter jet was shot down in the aerial confrontation and a pilot is “missing in action”. While Pakistan initially said that two IAF pilots were in its custody, later in the day, it said it had arrested “only one.”
