Pakistan Warns Indian Military Action Imminent After Pahalgam Attack

Tensions between India and Pakistan have sharply escalated following a deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, which killed 26 people, mostly tourists. India blames Pakistani-backed militants for the attack and has responded by suspending key bilateral treaties, downgrading diplomatic ties, and conducting military drills, while Pakistan denies involvement and calls for a neutral investigation. Both countries have taken reciprocal measures including the closure of airspace, expulsion of diplomats, and cancellation of visas. Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif has warned that an Indian military incursion is imminent and stated that Pakistan has reinforced its forces and is on high alert, mentioning that nuclear weapons would only be used if there is a direct threat to national existence. Indian authorities have intensified military operations in Kashmir and banned several Pakistani news channels and YouTube outlets for provocative content. The situation remains highly volatile, raising fears of broader conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbors.
