Pakistan Army Warns India of 'Cataclysmic Devastation' if Hostilities Resume

Islamabad’s military says Indian leaders’ recent threats are fabricating pretexts for aggression after May’s US-brokered ceasefire.

Overview

  • In an official ISPR communiqué, Pakistan warned it would respond without restraint to any new clash and described its posture as a swift, decisive and destructive 'new normal.'
  • The statement said Pakistan would 'shatter the myth of geographic immunity' by striking deep into Indian territory if fighting breaks out again.
  • ISPR cited remarks by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi and Air Chief Marshal A P Singh as the trigger for the warning, calling their comments delusional and jingoistic.
  • Both sides continue to advance competing accounts of May’s fighting, with India claiming Pakistani aircraft losses and Pakistan asserting it downed Indian warplanes, claims that remain contested.
  • Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif later intensified the rhetoric on X, vowing a devastating response and deriding India’s claims of success in the earlier exchange.
