Pakistan alleges it possesses reliable information indicating an imminent Indian attack within the next 36 hours.
Hostilities between India and Pakistan reach a boiling point as Pakistan's Information Minister, Attaullah Tarar, alleges that India plans to launch a military attack in the next 24-36 hours. This terror-fuelled tension arises following the massacre of 26 tourists in Pahalgam, Kashmir. Although the US and China plead for restraint, the situation escalates with tit-for-tat exchanges between the two nations.
Tarar's claim came in an unconventional late-night post, revealing the gravity of the situation. Indian authorities have yet to respond to the allegations. The tense circumstances bear an eerie resemblance to the 2019 insurgent attack that led India to conduct airstrikes within Pakistan's territory. The latest incident in Kashmir has sparked fears of a similar retaliation from India.
Modi vowed a pursuit of the attackers "to the ends of the earth," setting off a tense back-and-forth between the two countries. Pakistan's Tarar warns of a firm response to any "military adventurism by India." The international community, particularly U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, is urging tranquility and has initiated conversations with both Indian and Pakistani counterparts.
Tensions along the Line of Control have been escalating, with gunfire exchanged across the border for six consecutive nights. In addition, Pakistan shot down an Indian drone for suspected espionage in the disputed Kashmir region. India's navy also carried out missile drills, showcasing its readiness for offensive strikes. Fortunately, the Director Generals of Military Operations from both nations recently engaged in a conversation to mitigate tensions. However, the threat of military conflict looms as diplomatic tensions rise, with the potential to destabilize the region and spark direct conflict between nuclear-armed states.
