Jaishankar reaffirmed India's "measured and responsible" approach in the ongoing conflict. Rubio, who previously reached out to Pakistan's Army chief General Asim Munir, emphasized the need for constructive dialogue and offered US assistance to facilitate talks. This diplomatic engagement comes in light of recent cross-border violence, which has resulted in multiple casualties, including the death of a senior official in Rajouri.

The situation remains precarious as both countries navigate a long-standing rivalry.

The D4 system integrates multiple sensors for detection and identification, utilizing radar, radio frequency, and electro-optic systems. It employs soft kill methods like jamming and GPS spoofing, with hard kill options involving high-energy lasers if necessary. General Anil Chauhan, Chief of Defence Staff, highlighted the transformative role of drones in modern warfare, noting their cost-effectiveness in targeting and assessing enemy capabilities. Manufactured under India's 'Make in India' initiative, the D4 system is operational across all military branches and is also deployed for security at major national events, reflecting its efficacy and strategic importance.
