Pakistan’s Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said on Wednesday that India is planning a military strike within the next 24 to 36 hours, citing credible intelligence.
Tensions have soared after an attack last week in Indian Kashmir killed 26 men, with India blaming Pakistani elements. Islamabad has denied any involvement and called for a neutral investigation.
"Pakistan has credible intelligence that India intends to launch a military strike using the Pahalgam incident as a false pretext," Tarar said on X, warning any aggression would trigger a "decisive response."
India's foreign ministry has not commented. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has vowed to pursue the attackers.
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif told Reuters a military incursion by India appeared imminent. He said Pakistan would only consider using nuclear weapons if its existence was directly threatened.
Relations between the two nuclear-armed rivals remain volatile, with Pakistan closing its airspace to Indian airlines and India suspending parts of the Indus Waters Treaty.
The contested region of Kashmir remains at the heart of the dispute, as both countries claim it in full but control only parts.
