Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said the body, which makes policy decisions regarding the country's nuclear and missile arsenal, is expected to hold a meeting on Saturday.
The call for the emergency meeting comes hours after the two countries exchanged missile attacks, escalating the conflict that has been ongoing for days.
In this context, Pakistani military spokesman Ahmed Sharif announced in a televised address Saturday morning that India had fired missiles at three Pakistani air bases inside the country, but that most of them were intercepted.
Sharif explained that the missiles launched by India targeted Noor Khan Air Base in Rawalpindi, Murid Air Base in Chakwal, and Rafiqi Air Base in Jhang District, eastern Punjab province.
"According to the information available so far, all PAF assets are safe," he added.
He pointed out that some of the missiles launched by India struck its territory in eastern Punjab and also reached Afghanistan, stressing that "Pakistan has evidence to prove this."
In turn, Pakistan's Minister of Railways, Hanif Abbasi, confirmed that Pakistan's Ghauri and Shaheen nuclear missiles are "aimed at India," emphasizing that they are "not just decorations displayed on the streets."
Later, the Pakistani army announced the launch of Operation "Solid Structure" in response to the Indian attacks.
Pakistani state television said Saturday that "retaliatory attacks" were underway after India fired missiles at three air bases inside Pakistan. State media reported that "multiple locations in India are being targeted in retaliatory attacks."
The same official source added that the military operation destroyed a BrahMos missile storage site in Beas and the Pathankot and Udhampur air bases in India, confirming that attacks are continuing across various Indian regions with the participation of more than 50 warplanes.
Calls for calm
Meanwhile, the US State Department reported that Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with the Pakistani army chief and urged him to de-escalate.
The ministry added that the diplomatic mission to Pakistan is restricting the movement of all its employees and will reassess the situation on Saturday evening.
In turn, the Group of Seven, the world's largest economies, in a statement on Saturday, urged "India and Pakistan to exercise maximum restraint."
"We call for immediate de-escalation and encourage the two countries to engage in direct dialogue to reach a peaceful outcome," the statement read.
On May 6, India launched missile strikes against targets inside Pakistan, including the Azad Kashmir (Afghan Kashmir) region under Islamabad's control, in retaliation for an April 22 attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people.
New Delhi announced that it had targeted nine sites it said belonged to "terrorist" organizations, while Pakistan responded that the attacks hit six civilian sites, killing 33 people and wounding 62 others.
For its part, the Pakistani Armed Forces announced that they had shot down five Indian warplanes during the escalation, while New Delhi has not issued any official confirmation of this.
