Tensions have spiked following an undisclosed incident in Pahalgam, prompting both Pakistani and Indian forces to remain on high alert along the LoC. Although specific details remain classified, the event has sparked heightened military and diplomatic activity on both sides of the border.

In a recent joint press conference with Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, DG ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry warned that “any initiative from India will be met with a befitting response,” underscoring the seriousness of the current security environment.

Today’s briefing is expected to outline Pakistan’s military readiness, strategic communication with global stakeholders, and efforts to build political consensus on a unified national approach.

Separately, President Asif Ali Zardari has summoned a session of the National Assembly for Monday, where sources indicate that the Pakistan-India situation will dominate the parliamentary agenda.

Periodic flare-ups between the two nuclear-armed neighbours have kept diplomatic relations fragile. The latest developments have renewed calls from international observers urging both sides to exercise restraint and pursue dialogue.
