Pakistan Warns of Imminent Indian Military Strike Following Pahalgam Attack
- On April 28 in Islamabad, Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif warned that an Indian military incursion was imminent following a militant attack in Kashmir that killed 26 people last week.
- The warning came amid rising tensions caused by the militant attack on tourists, which India blamed on Pakistan-backed militants, though Islamabad denied involvement and called for a neutral investigation.
- Since the attack, both countries have taken retaliatory measures, including India suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and Pakistan closing its airspace to Indian airlines, while soldiers exchanged gunfire in disputed Kashmir.
- Asif explained that Pakistan has bolstered its military presence due to an imminent threat, emphasizing that the country is prepared but would deploy nuclear weapons only if its very survival is directly endangered.
- This escalation underscores longstanding conflict over Kashmir, with both nuclear-armed rivals preparing for possible military action while the international community urges restraint and calls for resolution.
