Pakistan’s defence minister said on Monday that a military incursion by neighbouring India is “imminent” following a deadly militant attack on tourists in Kashmir last week, as tensions rise between the two nuclear-armed nations.
India accuses Pakistan of backing militancy in Kashmir, a disputed region both claim the countries have fought two wars over.
“We have reinforced our forces because it is something which is imminent now. So in that situation some strategic decisions have to be taken, so those decisions have been taken,” Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif said in an interview with Reuters.
Asif, who is a member Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz party that has historically pursued peace talks with India, added that they would only use their nuclear weapons arsenal “there is a direct threat to our existence.”
