‘Pakistan ready for next level if situation escalates’

Islamabad: Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has said that if the matter with India escalates, we are ready for the next level.

Talking to private media, Defense Minister Khawaja Asif stated that in the last two or three days, India has definitely talked about peace but also continued aggression. We cannot rule out the possibility of the matter going to the next level. If the matter escalates, we are ready for the next level, but we will not lower our guard.

He added that we have heard India talking about peace, and we are cautious about it. If international powers intervene, we are ready for it, too.

Khawaja Asif further said that a war between two nuclear powers is a matter of concern for the world. If the war escalates, then it will not be limited to this region. God forbid, if a nuclear situation arises, then the spectators will also be engulfed in it.

The Defense Minister also stated that if we had not responded, India would have attacked us again after 2 or 3 months. We have stopped India. India should be made aware that Pakistan will not tolerate it.

Khawaja Asif continued to say that there was no damage to any place except a vehicle at Nur Khan Air Base, while no meeting of the National Command Authority was being held.

It is pertinent to note that Pakistan, responding to Indian aggression, destroyed several airfields including Udhampur, Adampur, and Pathankot airbases, this morning, while conducting a cyber-attack on the electric company of the Indian state of Maharashtra, completely shutting down the power system and also shutting down the military satellite.

In addition, Pakistani drones continued to fly for several hours in the state of Gujarat, which is under the control of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Pakistan also destroyed India’s Bathinda Airfield.
