Pakistan warns India may launch strike within 24–36 hours
Pakistan has issued a warning that India may carry out a military strike within the next 24 to 36 hours, citing what it described as "credible intelligence," as tensions escalate following a deadly assault in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Information Minister Attaullah Tarar shared the warning on Wednesday in a post on X, stating that Islamabad has reliable information indicating that New Delhi is planning military action under the “false and fabricated pretext” of Pakistan’s alleged involvement in the April 22 attack in Pahalgam. The incident, which took place at a popular tourist destination, claimed the lives of 26 people.
Pakistan has credible intelligence that India intends carrying out military action against Pakistan in the next 24-36 hours on the pretext of baseless and concocted allegations of involvement in the Pahalgam incident.

“Pakistan reiterates that any Indian military adventurism will be met with a firm and immediate response,” Tarar said. “The international community must recognize that responsibility for any escalation—and its consequences—will rest squarely with India.”

India has claimed that the attack had links across the border. Pakistan, however, has rejected any involvement, expressing concern over the violence and offering to cooperate with an independent investigation.
Tensions between the two countries escalated after the April 22 attack in Pahalgam, where gunmen opened fire at a tourist site in Indian-administered Kashmir, killing 26 people. India blamed the attack on groups with alleged cross-border ties, while Pakistan denied involvement and called for an independent investigation.
In response, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty—a key water-sharing agreement—a move Islamabad condemned as provocative. Both countries have since closed border crossings and further downgraded diplomatic ties.
