Overview
- Khawaja Asif, who posted on X on Thursday, warned that any future clash with India would draw a response that is swift, calibrated, and decisive.
- His message answered Rajnath Singh’s recent remarks that Operation Sindoor is not over and that any cross‑border mischief would face unprecedented action.
- Asif cited last May’s four-day fighting after the Pahalgam attack and, in Pakistan’s telling, denied involvement in the attack and pointed to a US‑brokered ceasefire on May 10.
- No new military moves have been reported, and the sharp words highlight deterrence signaling between two nuclear-armed neighbors near a sensitive date.
- Coverage reflects dueling accounts of 2025 events, with Indian outlets describing strikes on terror camps and airbases and Pakistani reports emphasizing downed Indian jets and defensive success.
