India has only “paused” its military action and will “retaliate on its own terms” if there is any future terror attack on the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday, in his first public comments since a US-brokered ceasefire over the weekend.

“We will be monitoring every step of Pakistan,” Mr Modi said in an address to the nation.
