‘Indian Army could still attack as threat exists’, says Pakistani defence minister amid post-Pahalgam panic

Pakistan’s defence minister Khawaja Asif has admitted the rising threat post-Pahalgam incident, saying that India could launch an attack on Pakistan anytime as the threat of conflict still exists between the two nations. He also claimed that Pakistan remains on high alert and added that nuclear weapons would only be used if there is a direct threat to the country’s existence. In an interview, Asif first stated that a war between India and Pakistan could erupt within the next two to three days. However, later he appeared to backtrack, clarifying that he did not predict a war within three days, but merely stressed that the next three to four days would be crucial.
