Tensions between Pakistan and India have increased again after strong public statements from both sides. Pakistan’s military spokesperson, DG ISPR Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, said Pakistan is fully prepared to respond to any future aggression and warned that no one should threaten the country. He also said Pakistan does not want war but is ready to defend itself. During a recent press conference, the DG ISPR said the 2025 conflict changed regional military thinking and claimed Pakistan had successfully responded to India during the clashes. Pakistan also repeated that the Kashmir issue remains a major cause of tension between the two countries. On the Indian side, media reports and commentators strongly criticized Pakistan’s statements and rejected several claims made during the ISPR briefing. Some Indian reports also highlighted the ongoing war of words between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. Although both countries continue using strong language, officials on both sides have also said they do not want a full-scale war. Regional tensions remain high as military and political exchanges continue.
