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.
