Pakistan Defence Minister Threatens Kolkata Strike Amid India Tensions

Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif issued a stark warning on Saturday, stating that Islamabad would retaliate with a strike on Kolkata if India engages in any "future misadventure." Speaking to reporters in Sialkot, Asif declared, "If India tries to stage any false flag operation this time, then God-willingly, we will take it to Kolkata." The minister alleged, without providing evidence, that there were reports of a planned false-flag operation involving individuals in Pakistani detention, suggesting bodies could be staged to blame terrorists.
