Pakistan Threatens India with Unconventional Strike
Published on 8.7.25
Pakistan's Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) warned that if India launches military aggression, Pakistan will respond with a robust and potentially unconventional strike from the east, targeting deep inside Indian territory. The already strained relations between Pakistan and India worsened after the April 22, 2025, Pahalgam incident, which India blamed on Pakistan without evidence. In response to India's actions, including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and expelling patients in India, Pakistan declared the treaty's suspension an act of war and retaliated with missile attacks on multiple Pakistani cities, resulting in civilian deaths and injuries. The conflict escalated further when India launched strikes on airbases and Pakistan responded with Operation Banyan Marsus (Iron Wall), targeting Indian military infrastructure. A ceasefire was eventually brokered by the Trump administration, although its role has not been officially acknowledged by the Indian government.
