She also warned India not to take actions that would provoke "unintended consequences".
"Any response needs to be judged by its effectiveness in prevention," she said.
Analysts say she is worried that an escalation of military tension in South Asia could distract Pakistan from the battle against militants on its Afghan border and simultaneously undermine its civilian government.

As Ms Rice visited Delhi, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen was visiting Pakistan.
