Action Service (EEAS), said in a post on X that international humanitarian law
must be respected at all times and urged all parties to exercise restraint.
The EU also called for an immediate de-escalation of tensions
following the latest cross-border violence
Pakistan said Monday it targeted militant hideouts inside
Afghanistan following multiple attacks it described as terrorist incidents on
its territory.

of civilians.
