Tensions have been rising between the nuclear-armed neighbors following a deadly terrorist attack in Kashmir
Pakistan is expecting an Indian military incursion following last weekโs deadly attack in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir region, Pakistanโs defense minister told Reuters on Monday.
On April 22, militants gunned down 26 tourists in Pahalgam, Kashmir. The attack has triggered outrage across Hindu-majority India and led to calls for swift action against Muslim-majority Pakistan.
Speaking to Reuters, Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif said the countryโs military is ready to face the mounting threats.
โWe have reinforced our forces because it is something which is imminent now. So in that situation some strategic decisions have to be taken, so those decisions have been taken,โ Asif said.
According to Asif, Pakistanโs military has briefed the government about the possibility of an Indian attack. However, he did not provide further specifics regarding the intelligence underlying his assessment.
Pakistanโs Defense Minister has declared that an incursion by India is imminent.
