Pakistan claims X account hacked after asking for loans from global partners as tensions with India escalate

Faced with deepening turmoil, crisis-hit Pakistan has once again turned to its international allies, pleading for fresh loans as the country reels under the weight of escalating conflict with India and a crashing economy. The ongoing war has not only intensified geopolitical tensions but has also dealt a heavy blow to Pakistan’s financial stability, leading to sharp declines in stock markets and widespread investor panic in the country. However, a ministry of economic affairs spokerperson later said that its X account was hacked and it did not make any such appeal.
