India May Launch Attack Soon, Pakistan Claims With 'Credible Intelligence'

Tensions between India and Pakistan rose sharply on Wednesday after a top Pakistani official said they had “credible intelligence” that India might launch a military strike within the next two days.

The warning came as both the United States and China called for calm and urged both countries to avoid conflict.

Tensions between India and Pakistan have grown after a top Pakistani official said on Wednesday that they had “credible intelligence” suggesting India may carry out a military attack within the next two days.

This statement has raised concerns, and both the United States and China have urged the two countries to stay calm and avoid conflict.

Pakistan’s Information Minister, Attaullah Tarar, claimed in a late-night post on X that the country has “credible intelligence” suggesting India is planning a military strike within the next 24 to 36 hours. However, he did not provide any details to support the claim.

This warning comes just a week after 26 tourists were killed by militants in Pahalgam, a mountain town in Indian-administered Kashmir. The brutal attack has sparked widespread anger across India.

India has blamed Pakistan for being involved in the massacre — a charge Pakistan strongly denies. In response, Islamabad has offered to allow a neutral investigation into the incident.

Kashmir remains one of the world’s most dangerous flashpoints, claimed in full by both India and Pakistan, though each controls only part of the region. The two nuclear-armed neighbors have fought three wars—mostly over this disputed territory—since gaining independence from Britain nearly 80 years ago.

Last week’s deadly militant attack, which killed 26 tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir, triggered widespread outrage across India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi now faces growing pressure to respond with military force.

Back in 2019, India launched airstrikes inside Pakistan after a similar attack on its paramilitary forces—marking the first cross-border strike since the 1971 war. Now, many fear a repeat of such action could be on the horizon.

In a fiery speech last week, Modi vowed to chase down the attackers “to the ends of the earth.” Since then, tensions between the two countries have only intensified, with both sides exchanging strong warnings.

On Wednesday, Pakistan’s Information Minister, Attaullah Tarar, warned that any “military adventurism by India would be responded to assuredly and decisively.”
