Pakistan voices deep concern as Israel‑Iran hostilities escalate into a sixth day of airstrikes and missile exchanges. Islamabad condemned Israeli attacks on Iranian soil including nuclear sites, military infrastructure and state TV as blatant provocations, urging global action to uphold international law. With over 220 killed in Iran and hundreds injured, Tehran retaliated by firing missiles toward Israel, causing casualties and property damage. Pakistan has shut five Balochistan border crossings and repatriated students and pilgrims amid fears that Iran’s aerial reach could destabilise its own Balochistan province. Islamabad is exploring diplomatic channels to de‑escalate, emphasising the need for UN intervention and renewed diplomacy. (PC: Siasat & Bloomberg)
