Future Terror Attacks to Be Dealt with as Military Operations: Top Government Officials
India's Warning to Pakistan: Any Future Terror Attacks Will Be Met with War
In a blunt warning, India has made it clear that any further terrorist attacks on its soil will be met with a full-blown war. This comes after a series of cross-border skirmishes and retaliatory strikes, with the latest tension erupting following a devastating terrorist attack in Pahalgam that left 26 dead, primarily Indian citizens and a Nepalese national.
India's government officials echoed this warning, underscoring a significant shift in India's security stance. This dramatic escalation follows a string of attacks traced back to terror groups nestled across the border. Notably, India's armed forces responded with precision strikes under Operation Sindoor, targeting multiple terror launchpads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
In a tit-for-tat retaliation, Pakistan launched a nightly drone offensive on 26 strategic sites, including Jammu, Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Gujarat. India's Ministry of Defence swiftly acknowledged the interception and neutralization of multiple drones by its top-notch air defence systems.
To further escalate the tension, Indian forces thwarted at least eight missiles launched from across the border, some aimed at critical infrastructure like the Jammu airport. Both nations now find themselves on high alert.
India, firm in its zero-tolerance policy toward terrorism, has made it clear that any further provocation will be answered with swift and decisive retaliation. The international community, including the United States and China, have urged de-escalation, while China has advocated for an independent investigation into the attack.
Meanwhile, India has launched a crackdown in Kashmir, resulting in over 1,500 arrests and the demolition of suspected militant homes. This ongoing military tension and diplomatic standoff paint a concerning picture of the challenges ahead in achieving a resolution to the longstanding Kashmir conflict.
