Pakistan’s foreign minister said Saturday his country would consider de-escalation if India stopped its attacks, after India said it sought non-escalation if Pakistan agreed to do the same.

Both countries traded strikes Saturday during the conflict sparked by a massacre last month, which India attributes to Pakistan.

Ishaq Dar, Pakistan’s foreign minister, warned that “our response will follow” if India launched any strikes.

Dar told Pakistan’s Geo News that he also delivered his message to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who contacted him after the top U.S. diplomat spoke to India’s officials.

Singh said India’s forces carried out “precision strikes only at identified military targets in response to Pakistani actions,” which included technical infrastructure, command and control centers, radar locations and weapon storage areas to ensure “minimum collateral damage.”

“All hostile actions have been effectively countered and responded to appropriately,” Singh said.

The Pakistani military said it used medium-range Fateh missiles to target an Indian missile storage facility and airbases in the Indian cities of Pathankot and Udhampur.

Pakistan Army spokesman, Lt. Gen. Ahmad Sharif, said the country’s air force assets were safe after India’s strikes.
