Pakistan and India hinted at de-escalating their current conflict after firing missiles at each other hours earlier.

Pakistan said most of the missiles were intercepted and that retaliatory strikes were underway. It's an escalation in a conflict triggered by a massacre last month that India blames on Pakistan.

Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, also present at the news conference, said India was committed to “non-escalation" provided that Pakistan reciprocated. However, Pakistani ground forces were observed mobilizing toward forward areas, she said, “indicating an offensive intent to further escalate the situation.”
