Pakistan Threatens Retaliation to India's Military Drills
Imagine India is practicing its military moves with its army, navy, and air force.
Pakistan’s defense minister said that if India does anything aggressive near their border during these practices, Pakistan will fight back very strongly.
He said their response this time would be even stronger than before.
Pakistan is also busy building up its military posts near a place called Sir Creek.
The Pakistani minister also said that the leaders in Afghanistan are actually being controlled by India, and that India is using Afghanistan because of problems on its other border.
This is happening after peace talks between Pakistan and the Taliban failed.
Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif threatened strong retaliation against any Indian aggression during ongoing military exercises.
India is conducting the tri-services Exercise Trishul 2025 from October 30 to November 10, simulating rapid mobilization and integrated warfare.
Asif accused Afghanistan's Taliban government of being influenced by India and using Kabul to counter India's western front.
Pakistan has expanded its military infrastructure near the Sir Creek area, with its Navy chief vowing to defend maritime borders.
The heightened rhetoric follows the collapse of Pakistan-Taliban peace talks and deadly explosions in Kabul.
