Pakistani minister denies meeting of state nuclear arsenal watchdog

Pakistan's defence minister said no meeting had been scheduled for the National Command Authority, the top military and civilian body overseeing the country's nuclear arsenal, following military operations against India early on Saturday. "The National Command Authority did not meet and no meeting has been scheduled," he said. Pakistan's military had earlier said the prime minister had summoned the body for a meeting. Separately, Pakistan's foreign minister told reporters that if India stopped here, "we will consider stopping here as well."
