Pakistan has approached United Naitons after India carried out surgical strikes against terrorists.
Pakistan's UN envoy asked the president of the United Nations Security Council on Thursday to informally brief the body on the country's escalating tension with India and said she will discuss it with UN chief Ban Ki-moon on Friday.
India carried out surgical strikes on 7 terror launch pads across the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday and killed terrorists who were preparing to infiltrate India.
Pakistani UN Ambassador Maleeha Lodhi told news agency Reuters that she met with New Zealand's UN Ambassador Gerard van Bohemen, who is president of the 15-member Security Council for September.
"I brought to his attention the dangerous situation that is building up in our region," she said. "Our call to the international community is avert a crisis before there is one."
India's UN mission was not immediately available to comment.
Mr Van Bohemen said he told the council on Thursday that Ms Lodhi had visited him to raise concerns about the situation with India. "I briefed the council on her approach," he said.
Pakistan said two of its soldiers had been killed in exchanges of fire on Thursday, but denied India had made any targeted strikes across the Line of Control.
"Pakistan is showing maximum restraint but there are limits to our restraint," Ms Lodhi said.
"Right now our effort is just to tell everyone 'this is what's happened so far, watch this space because it's a very dangerous space'," she said.
