Pakistan Army Chief’s Warning to India
Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir warned that India’s geographical size does not provide immunity from Pakistani strikes. Addressing cadets at the Pakistan Military Academy in Kakul, Munir dismissed the idea of India’s “geographical immunity” as a misconception.
Capabilities Highlighted
He asserted that Pakistan’s advanced weapon systems are capable of targeting India effectively, undermining any assumption of safety based on its vast territory. Munir said even a minor provocation from India could invite a strong and decisive response.
Nuclearised Environment
The Army Chief further pointed out that South Asia’s security situation is “nuclearised,” raising both deterrence and risks. His remarks were made in the backdrop of recent escalations in the region.
Rising Tensions
Munir’s comments reflect the increasingly hostile rhetoric between the two neighbours. Security analysts say such warnings raise the risk of miscalculation and complicate diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions.
