The fresh round of hostilities marks the first direct military confrontation between the two countries since a temporary ceasefire came into effect on April 8. In a statement, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) stressed the need for an immediate reduction in tensions across the region. "India deeply regrets the renewed attacks in West Asia. These developments are a matter of utmost concern to the international community," the statement said. “This conflict has now lasted over 100 days and has already caused immense human suffering. It has also had a debilitating impact on the global economy and energy supplies,” the MEA said.
