“India can attack any view on LOC”: Pakistan's defense minister in tension | World News
Impact of Pahalgam terrorist attacks: Pakistan has been living in fear since the terrorist attacks in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan is increasingly worried that India may take military action at any time. Now, Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has warned the public that India can launch a military strike at the Line of Control (LOC) at any time. Last week, Pakistan’s Information Minister Attaullah Tarar made a similar claim, saying they had “reliable evidence” for the Indian military strike in the next 24-36 hours.
“There are reports that India can play any role in control. A strong response will be made to New Delhi,” Khawaja Asif said in a speech to a reporter in Islamabad. This statement comes at a time when tensions are high between the two nuclear-weapon neighbors following the Pahargam terrorist attack. On April 22, terrorists opened fire on unarmed tourists in Pahalgam, killing 26 people and injuring several others.
Khawaja Asif also mentioned that Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called for an international investigation into the Pahargam attack. “Such investigations will reveal whether India itself or some internal groups are involved, and the truth behind the unfounded allegations in New Delhi will be revealed,” Asif said.
Pakistan mobilized control of its troops in fear of military action against India following the Pahalgam attack. Pakistan also poses a nuclear threat to India.
After the April 22 Pahargam terrorist attack caused 26 civilians, Indian troops responded from the unprovoked small arms fire placed in Pakistani positions from the Pakistan Front (LOC) from the early hours of May 5, following the terrorist attack caused 26 civilians on April 22, a central tension following the terrorist attack caused 26 civilians. Pakistani troops resorted to unprovoked small arms, shooting from pillars opposite the areas of Jammu and Kashmir and Kashmir.
The Indian army said in a statement, “During the night of 05-06 May 2025, Pakistan Army resorted to unprovoked small-arms firing from posts across the Line of Control in areas opposite Kupwara, Baramulla, Poonch, Rajouri, Mendhar, Naushera, Sunderbani and Akhnoor in J&K. Indian Army responded in proportionate manner.”
