Pakistani PM Demands World to Address Crisis in Kashmir
-------------------------------------------------------

At the United Nations, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan called on
world leaders Tuesday to address the crisis in Kashmir, warning India's
illegal annexation of the occupied territory could lead to a war between
the two nuclear-armed states.

Prime Minister Imran Khan: "This is unprecedented. Eight million people
in an open jail is unprecedented in this day and age. And then this
nonsense that this is a part of India so the world should stay out. Just
to remind the world, that there are 11 Security Council, U.N. Security
Council, resolutions that recognize Kashmir as a disputed territory."

Meanwhile, a magnitude 5.8 earthquake hit Pakistan-administered Kashmir
on Tuesday. At least 25 people died, and more than 300 have been
injured.
