Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said that no meeting of the National Command Authority, which is Pakistan's top military and civil body overseeing the country's nuclear arsenal, was scheduled following a military operation against India that took place early on Saturday.

Pakistan's military had said earlier in the day that Pakistan's prime minister had called on the authority to meet.
