The Director General Interservices of Public Relations (ISPR), General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, warned that any serious escalation between the two neighbors with nuclear weapons could have catastrophic consequences. “The world now recognizes the scope of the nuclear threat, any sensible player, like the United States, understands this absurd and what the Indians are trying to do here,” he said.
Talking with Sky News On Thursday, DG ISPR declared: “If India thinks that she can forge a space for war between India and Pakistan, it is actually a recipe to carve mutual destruction.”
He warned India about a “fast and insured response” if he violated the fire with Pakistan, adding that any serious climbing among neighbors with nuclear weapons would lead to mutual destruction.

The warning occurs after a week of greater military confrontation, including missile attacks, drone raids and cross -border fire, caused by a deadly attack in Jammu and Kashmir (Iiojk) of Indian occupation that killed 26 tourists. India blamed Pakistan for the assault without presenting any evidence, a claim that Islamabad denied strongly.
Accusing India to try to “internalize” the problem of Kashmir and “harass” the local population through a strong presence of troops, the DG ISPR said that “this is a problem that must be solved by the people of Kashmir, according to the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council.”
The main military spokesman warned that any violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty would fulfill a hard military response. “Anyone who tries to violate our territory, integrity or sovereignty: our response will be brutal,” he said.
On May 10, the full and immediate fire between India and Pakistan was announced, after several days of intense military exchanges that led the two nuclear armed neighbors to the edge of the war.
The announcement was made for the first time by the president of the United States, Donald Trump, and was then confirmed by Pakistan Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, the Vice Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of India, S Jaishankar and the Secretary of State of the United States, Marco Rubio.
Tensions had intensified sharply after a deadly attack on April 22 in Pahalgam, located in Iiojk, which resulted in the death of 26 civilians. India accused the elements based in Pakistan to orchestrate the attack, a categorically denied Islamabad claim.

From May 6 to 7, India launched strikes against Pakistan, according to reports, which resulted in civilian casualties. In response, the Pakistan Air Force claimed a significant milestone by ensuring a combat victory beyond the visual range (BVR), lowering five Indian combat planes, including three Rafale aircraft.
Despite the repeated warnings of the Pakistani government, the Indian forces continued provocative actions, including frequent drone raids in the Pakistani territory. These developments culminated in Pakistan’s launch operation in Operation Bunyanum Marsoos on the night of May 9 to 10, pointing at least 26 military facilities within India.
Amid the situation that deteriorates rapidly, diplomatic efforts, led by the United States and supported by Saudi Arabia and other international actors, obtained the reduction of the conflict. Both parties finally agreed to stop hostilities and stop more military activity.
