China has issued a statement calling India and Pakistan to refrain from military conflict

Pakistan says it has 'credible intelligence' that India is planning a military response to last month's attack that killed 26 people in Indian-administered Kashmir. India blames Pakistan for the killings, but Pakistan denies any involvement. Fears are growing of a military confrontation between the nuclear-armed neighbors. Global superpowers the United States and China – which has its own strategic rivalry with India – have urged both sides to de-escalate tensions.
