ISLAMABAD: Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh issued a fresh and stern warning to Pakistan on Thursday.
He stated that any misadventure by Pakistan would be met with an unprecedented and decisive response from India.

The remarks come amid ongoing tensions following the 2025 Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 civilian lives.
Indian Official figures claim more than 100 militants were neutralised during the initial phase of Operation Sindoor.
India maintains an active military strength of 1.43 million personnel compared to Pakistan’s 660,000 troops.
New Delhi’s defence budget for 2026 stands at approximately 109 billion dollars while Islamabad’s is around 9 billion dollars.

He warned that any future provocation could stun the world and change both history and geography.
The Defence Minister specifically highlighted continued vigilance in the Sir Creek sector.
