Pakistan says it has 'credible intelligence' that India is planning an imminent military strike

Pakistan has “credible intelligence” that India intends to launch military strikes in the next “24-36 hours,” the country's information minister said.

Pakistan has “credible intelligence” that India intends to launch military strikes in the next “24-36 hours,” the country's information minister said Wednesday as tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors ramp up.

“Any such military adventurism by India would be responded to assuredly and decisively,” Attaullah Tarar said in a post on X without elaborating on what intelligence Pakistan has.

His comments came amid a sharp war of words between the two nations after last week's deadly terrorist attack on tourists in the Indian-administered Kashmir, in which 26 people were killed. All but one were Indian nationals; the one was from Nepal.

A previously unknown militant group calling itself the Kashmir Resistance has claimed responsibility for the attack, but New Delhi is still pointing the finger at Islamabad, which it has long accused of supporting cross-border terrorism. India has said that two of the three attackers identified were Pakistani nationals.

Pakistan has denied any connection to the attack and has called for a neutral investigation, saying it will defend its “sovereignty and territorial integrity” at all costs.
