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

The military communiqué answers fresh threats from Indian leaders by declaring a harder retaliatory posture it calls a new normal.

Overview

  • Pakistan’s Inter-Services Public Relations said any renewed conflict would draw a resolute response without restraint and vowed to shatter any notion of geographic immunity by striking deep inside India.
  • The statement cited recent remarks from India’s security leadership, including Army Chief Upendra Dwivedi’s warning about Pakistan’s place on the map, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s cross-border pledge, and Air Chief Amar Preet Singh’s unsubstantiated claims of downing Pakistani jets in May.
  • Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif escalated the rhetoric in a post on X, warning that India would be buried under the wreckage of its planes.
  • Officials framed the warnings in the context of the April Pahalgam attack and four days of cross-border strikes in May that ended with a ceasefire announced by President Donald Trump and acknowledged by both sides.
  • No fresh large-scale operations have been confirmed, but the sharper public messaging from both governments has raised concerns about miscalculation between the nuclear-armed neighbours.
