Pakistan’s Information Minister, Attaullah Tarar, on Wednesday announced that the country has credible intelligence indicating that India plans to launch a military strike within the next 24 to 36 hours.
Tarar warned that any act of aggression would be met with a decisive response and holding India accountable for any serious consequences in the region.
“Pakistan has credible intelligence that India intends to launch a military strike within the next 24 to 36 hours using the Pahalgam incident as a false pretext,” Tarar said in a post on social media platform X.

This comes as tensions between the two neighbouring nations escalated as India has said there were Pakistani elements to the terror attack that killed 26 people at a tourist spot in Kashmir region last week.
“Any act of aggression will be met with a decisive response. India will be fully responsible for any serious consequences in the region,” he added.
He further stated, “Pakistan has been a victim of terrorism itself and truly understands the pain of this scourge. We have always condemned it in all its forms and manifestations, anywhere in the world.”
The minister said Pakistan, as a responsible state, had “open-heartedly offered a credible, transparent, and independent investigation by a neutral commission of experts to ascertain the truth.”
He also urged the international community to recognise the severity of the situation, stressing that “the onus of an escalatory spiral and its ensuing consequences shall squarely lie with India.”
