Pakistan has strengthened its army and is expecting an inevitable military invasion from India. This was announced by Pakistani Defense Minister Khavaja Mohammad Asif in an interview with Reuters.
"We have increased our forces, because the invasion of India has become inevitable. In such a situation, it was necessary to make strategic decisions, and they were made," says Asif.
The minister also noted that India's recent statements are becoming increasingly aggressive. He said that the Pakistani army had already warned the government about the high risk of an attack from India. However, Asif refused to disclose the precise reasons for the inevitability of the invasion of India.
The minister emphasized that Pakistan, which is in high combat readiness, is considering the possibility of using nuclear weapons in the event of a "threat to the existence of the state."
"We informed our friends in the Persian Gulf and China about the situation, and also informed the UK, the USA, and other countries," Asif clarified.
According to him, some Gulf states have already begun negotiations with both sides of the conflict, but have not disclosed the names of these states.
Prior to this, Pakistan's Minister of Railways, Hanif Abbasi, also delivered a harsh speech, threatening India with "nuclear retaliation." He noted that Pakistan has 130 nuclear warheads, which are "designed exclusively for India."
Our nuclear weapons are not for show. Its location is spread throughout the country, and it is ready for immediate use. All ballistic missiles are aimed at India, Abbasi said (quoted by India Today).
