India's precise actions against terror camps in Pakistan were non-escalatory, with global leaders briefed on the situation.

India has briefed the U.S., the U.K., Saudi Arabia, UAE and Russia after striking targets in Pakistan’s Punjab province and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) early Wednesday (May 7, 2025) morning, government sources said.

The leaders of all five countries briefed have been in touch with Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the past two weeks.  India is still expecting a visit by Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi on Wednesday, although officials said his arrival had been delayed by a few hours.

⁠”India’s actions have been focused and precise. They were measured, responsible and designed to be non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani civilian, economic or military targets have been hit. Only known terror camps were targeted,” a statement issued by the Indian Embassy in Washington shared by the MEA said.

In its statement, the MEA also said that it had expected that “Pakistan would take action against terrorists and the infrastructure that supports them”.

“Instead, during the fortnight that has gone by, Pakistan has indulged in denial and made allegations of false flag operations against India.”
