Khawaja Asif: 'We will take it to Kolkata': Pakistan defence minister Khawaja Asif warns India of strikes in 'future misadventures'
Threat of military action against Indian city raises serious security concerns.
Pakistan’s defense minister Khawaja Asif threatened a retaliatory strike on Kolkata, India, in the event of future "misadventure" by India. Asif's statement came after India's defense minister Rajnath Singh warned of "unprecedented and decisive" action against Pakistan. Tensions between the two countries remain high following the April 2023 Pahalgam attack, which triggered a brief military confrontation. Asif also alleged that India may be planning a "false-flag operation," but offered no evidence to support his claim.
