WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump offered on Tuesday to mediate the"explosive" situation in Kashmir amid mounting international concern over a flare-up in violence between India and Pakistan in the divided region.

Both India and Pakistan are nuclear powers and the situation in Kashmir is further complicated by the fact that China also claims part of the Himalayan region. "We continue to be very concerned by reports of detentions, and continued restrictions on the residents of the region," the State Department official told reporters.

India has bristled at any suggestion of foreign mediation and strenuously denied a claim by Trump last month that Modi had invited him to act a peacebroker.
