Amid heightened tensions with India following the Pahalgam terror attack, Pakistan’s military is grappling with a critical shortage of artillery ammunition, limiting its warfighting capability to just four days, ANI reported citing sources. The shortfall is attributed to recent arms deals with Ukraine and Israel, which depleted reserves, while outdated production at Pakistan Ordnance Factories struggles to keep up. Intelligence reports suggest emergency ammunition depots are being built near the India border. The issue triggered alarm at the May 2 Special Corps Commanders Conference. Experts warn the situation leaves Pakistan vulnerable to high-intensity conflict. (PC: Reuters)
