Pakistan may carry out strike inside Afghanistan after terror attacks, warns Asif
2025-11-12
Wotta coincidence. They just had one in New Delhi yesterday.It's almost like some third party was egging them on to have a war. Or is that just me?
"Let's you and him fight"
[GEO.TV] Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Tuesday warned that Pakistain could carry out strikes inside Afghanistan following recent terrorist attacks in Islamabad and South Wazoo, slamming the Afghan Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
regime for harbouring Lions of Islam behind the violence.

Over the past two days, Pakistain has witnessed two major terror incidents — one targeting Cadet College Wana in South Waziristan and another striking Islamabad.

Speaking on Geo News' programme 'Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath', the defence minister said cross-border action inside Afghanistan could not be "ruled out" following the two attacks.

Asif rejected the Afghan Taliban regime's condemnation of the attacks, saying that such expressions of regret could not "be taken as proof of sincerity". "Those sheltered by the Afghan Taliban are repeatedly attacking us," he said.

The defence minister warned India and Afghanistan against any misadventure, saying Pakistain would "pay back in the same coin".

"Pakistain will never initiate any military adventure," he assured. However,
a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth...
he said: "We will not let any act of aggression go unanswered; we will respond forcefully."

It is to be noted here that at least 12 were martyred and over 30 injured in the suicide kaboom in Islamabad.

Prior to this, Asif warned that Pakistain was fully capable of delivering a befitting response to cross-border terrorism.

"We are in a state of war. Anyone who thinks that the Pakistain Army is fighting this war only in the border areas along Afghanistan or in the remote regions of Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
should take the suicide kaboom in Islamabad as a wake-up call," the defence czar wrote in a post on X.
