India reached out to several leading countries, including the US, Russia, the UK and Saudi Arabia, early on Wednesday and briefed them about the military strike it carried out on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir, sources said.
The strikes were carried out in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack.
"Senior Indian officials have spoken to their counterparts in a number of countries to brief them on the steps taken by India," said a source. "Among these are the US, the UK, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Russia," it said.
India's actions came two weeks after the Pahalgam terror attack that triggered widespread outrage in India and abroad.
"These steps come in the wake of the barbaric Pahalgam terrorist attack in which 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen were murdered," the defence ministry said in a statement.
"We are living up to the commitment that those responsible for this attack will be held accountable," it said.
