In an explosive escalation of tensions, Pakistan Minister Hanif Abbasi openly threatened India with nuclear retaliation, warning that Pakistan’s arsenal – including Ghori, Shaheen, and Ghaznavi missiles along with 130 nuclear warheads – has been kept “only for India”.
Abbasi said if India dares to halt Pakistan’s water supply by suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, it should “prepare for a full-scale war”. He declared that Pakistan’s nuclear weapons are not for display, and their locations are hidden across the country, ready to strike if provoked.
“If they stop the water supply to us, then they should be ready for a war. The military equipment we have, the missiles we have, they’re not for display. Nobody knows where we have placed our nuclear weapons across the country. I say it again, these ballistic missiles, all of them are targeted at you,” he warned.
His reaction came after India announced a series of countermeasures against Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack that left 26 dead.
