Pakistan’s military chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, on Sunday warned India that any future military action against Pakistan would trigger “widespread, dangerous and painful” consequences, as tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours continue to simmer a year after last year’s cross-border conflict.
Speaking at an event at the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi, Munir said Pakistan would respond forcefully to any future attempt to challenge its sovereignty.
“Our enemies should know that if any attempt is made in the future to carry out a misadventure against Pakistan, then the impact of war would not be limited, but extremely widespread, dangerous, far-reaching and painful,” he said.
The event was attended by senior military leadership, including Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Babar Sidhu and Admiral Naveed Ashraf.
Munir claimed Pakistan had successfully repelled what he described as Indian aggression during clashes between May 6 and May 10 last year, calling it a “decisive battle.”
He also accused India of orchestrating what he termed “false flag operations” in previous years to justify military pressure on Pakistan.
The remarks come nearly a year after India launched Operation Sindoor following a terror attack in Pahalgam.
India had carried out overnight strikes targeting militant camps across Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on May 7, triggering retaliatory drone and military exchanges between the two sides.
The confrontation ended after a ceasefire was reached on May 10.
Munir has repeatedly issued strong warnings against India in recent months, including earlier statements promising a severe response to any future escalation.
His latest comments are likely to further heighten concerns over regional stability amid the fragile ceasefire between the two countries.
