Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has warned that India could launch a military strike at any moment along the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir, amid heightened tensions following the Pahalgam terrorist attack that killed 26 people, including 25 Indians. Asif's statement was made in Islamabad and reflects the ongoing strain between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has called for an international probe into the incident to clarify the involvement of India or any internal groups.

Asif also stated that Pakistan would respond forcefully to any Indian military action, suggesting that the country's existence being threatened would lead to catastrophic consequences, with no country surviving on the planet. This rhetoric escalates the tension between the two nations. Pakistan army chief General Syed Asim Munir has reiterated his intention to respond with full force to protect the 'national prestige and prosperity of his people'.

Furthermore, Asif warned that Pakistan would destroy any structures India might build to stop water flow, indicating potential conflict over water resources. This comes after India announced punitive measures against Pakistan, including the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, following the Pahalgam attack. Information Minister Atta Tarar had previously mentioned that 24-36 hours were critical, fearing a possible strike by India.
