Wed Apr 30 07:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Pakistan Accuses India of Imminent Military Action, Warns of Catastrophic Consequences
**ISLAMABAD** – Pakistan has issued a stark warning to India, claiming it possesses credible intelligence indicating an impending military offensive within the next 24 to 36 hours. Information Minister Attaullah Tarar, in an emergency press conference held at 2 am local time, asserted that any such action would be met with a forceful response.
The announcement follows heightened tensions between the two nations in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack in which at least 26 civilians were killed. Pakistan vehemently denies any involvement in the attack and accuses India of acting on “baseless and concocted allegations,” rejecting what it terms India’s role as “judge, jury, and executioner.”
Tarar’s statement echoes a similar warning issued by Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khwaja Asif the previous day, who hinted at the possibility of war within days. The Pakistani government’s claims come after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi authorized the armed forces to determine their own response to the Pahalgam attack, vowing to pursue those responsible.
India’s actions following the attack, including downgrading diplomatic ties, suspending the Indus Water Treaty, revoking Pakistani visas, and closing the Wagah-Attari border, have further escalated tensions. Pakistan has also been accused of repeated ceasefire violations along the Line of Control.
The situation remains extremely volatile, with Pakistan vowing to defend its territory and sovereignty at all costs. The potential for a major military conflict between the two nuclear-armed nations is a grave concern.
