Pak defense minister warns full scale war is imminent [View all]
As tensions between India and Pakistan rise, with repeated cross-border skirmishes along the Line of Control (LoC), Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has suggested that the only remaining option for Islamabad may be a full-scale war with its neighbour.
In an interview with a Pakistani media outlet, Asif stated, "We don’t see any other available means other than this option (war) due to the aggressive actions adopted by India in the last four days. We have tried to de-escalate the situation, but the chances of that seem minimal. We have to pay them back in the same coin."
