Rawalpindi (TDI): Amid relentless brinkmanship from India following the Pahalgam incident, Army Chief General Syed Asim Munir has given an unequivocal warning to warmongers across the border, saying any aggression from New Delhi will receive a “swift, resolute, and notch-up response” from Pakistan’s military.
The army chief issued a stern warning just days after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi reportedly granted his country’s armed forces “complete operational freedom to decide on the mode, targets and timing of their response” to the Pahalgam incident.
Gen Munir, however, reaffirmed the unwavering commitment of Pakistan’s armed forces to safeguard the nation’s sovereignty and territorial integrity at all costs.
“Let there be no doubt. Any military misadventure by India will be met with a swift, decisive, and notch-up response,” he said while addressing the troops during his visit to the Tilla Field Firing Ranges (TFFR) on Thursday where he witnessed Exercise Hammer Strike – a high-intensity, field training drill conducted by Pakistan Army’s Mangla Strike Corps.
