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

Pakistan and India accused each other of launching drone attacks, and Islamabad’s Defence Minister said further retaliation was “increasingly certain”, on the second day of major clashes between the nuclear-armed neighbours.

ISLAMABAD — (AP) — Pakistan’s foreign minister said Saturday his country would consider de-escalation if India stopped further attacks. This came after India said it was committed to non-escalation if Pakistan reciprocated.
