Pakistan Warns Imminent Indian Military Incursion, Nuclear Threat Stated

Pakistan's defense minister has warned that a military incursion by India is imminent following a deadly militant attack in Kashmir that killed 26 tourists, intensifying tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations. India has blamed Pakistan for backing the militants, an accusation Islamabad denies, instead calling for an independent investigation. In response to perceived threats, Pakistan has reinforced its forces and made undisclosed strategic decisions, while emphasizing it would only consider using its nuclear arsenal if faced with an existential threat. The minister noted that India's rhetoric is escalating and that the Pakistani military has briefed the government on the possibility of an Indian attack. International actors such as China have called for restraint, while the United States has encouraged both sides to seek a responsible resolution. The situation remains volatile, with both countries on high alert amid mutual distrust and regional instability.
