General Joseph Dunford, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, on Tuesday spoke to his Pakistani counterpart General Zubair Mahmood Hayat to discuss the “current security environment” in Pakistan, the Pentagon said, amid the spike in Indo-Pak tensions following the Pulwama terror attack.

The telephonic talk is the highest level of contact between the two armies a day after India bombed and destroyed Jaish-e-Mohammed’s (JeM) biggest terrorist training camp in Balakot in Pakistan’s restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, about 80-km from the Line of Control (LoC) early Tuesday, killing a “very large number” of terrorists, trainers and senior commanders.
