Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has issued a sharp warning to India, stating that any “future misadventure” by New Delhi could lead to retaliatory strikes, specifically mentioning Kolkata as a potential target. The remark comes amid rising tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours, following strong statements from Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh about an “unprecedented response” to provocations. Asif also suggested a “false flag” narrative, further intensifying the war of words. The exchange highlights growing volatility in bilateral relations and increasing concerns over regional security.
