Pakistan has faced tough questions from members of the United Nations Security Council at the closed-door consultations over tensions with India in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, ANI reported.

The UNSC members grilled Islamabad over the involvement of Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistan-based terror group, in the Pahalgam attack in which 25 tourists and a Kashmiri pony ride operator were killed by terrorists in cold blood.

They also expressed concern over Pakistan's recent missile tests and flagged their nuclear rhetorics as an escalatory factor.

UNSC members highlighted the need for accountability, while refusing to accept the "false flag" narrative often used by Pakistan.

The United Nations Security Council has discussed rising tensions between India and Pakistan at closed-door consultations where envoys called for de-escalation and dialogue.

After the closed-door meeting, that lasted about an hour and a half, Pakistan claimed that its own objectives were "largely served".

Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad said that while Pakistan does not seek confrontation, "we are fully prepared to defend our sovereignty and territorial integrity".

Pakistan also raised the issue of India's suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960. "Water is life, not a weapon. These rivers sustain over 240 million Pakistanis," he said.

Ahmad said at the meeting Pakistan reiterated its "commitment to peaceful, cooperative relations with all our neighbours, including India". "We remain open to dialogue based on mutual respect and sovereign equality," he added.

State Special Operation Cell (SSOC) Amritsar, in a joint operation with the central agency, recovered a cache of terrorist hardware, shared Gaurav Yadav, Director General of Police, Punjab. The operation was executed in the forested area near Tibba Nangal–Kular Road, SBS Nagar.

The items recovered include:

"Preliminary probe indicates a coordinated operation by Pakistan’s ISI and allied terror outfits to revive sleeper cells in Punjab. An FIR under relevant provisions of law has been registered at PS State Special Operation Cell (SSOC) Amritsar. Punjab Police remains committed to safeguarding national security and dismantling terror infrastructure in the state," Mr Yadav said.

India and Pakistan's Directorate General Military Operations (DGMO) officers will a hold weekly scheduled hotline conversation today, the third since April 22 Pahalgam attack and second since ceasefire violations along the Line of control began. The conversation is held between Brigadier-rank officers at around 11 am.

For the 12th consecutive day, the Pakistan Army resorted to unprovoked small arms firing at Indian positions on the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir.

The Defence Ministry spokesman said, "During the night of 05-06 May 2025, Pakistan Army resorted to unprovoked small-arms firing from posts across the LoC in areas opposite Kupwara, Baramulla, Poonch, Rajauri, Mendhar, Naushera, Sunderbani, and Akhnoor.

"Indian Army responded in a proportionate manner," said the spokesperson.

The UN Security Council commenced closed-door consultations here on the situation between India and Pakistan, hours after Secretary General Antonio Guterres voiced concern over tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours being "at their highest in years".

Pakistan, currently a non-permanent member of the powerful 15-nation Security Council, had requested for "closed consultations" on the situation.
