The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of India has strongly rejected and dismissed with contempt the Pakistan Army's statement blaming India for the suicide car bombing attack in North Waziristan on June 28, which killed at least 13 Pakistani soldiers and injured 25 others. The Indian government categorically denied any involvement in the attack, calling Pakistan's allegations baseless. The MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal confirmed that India had seen the Pakistan Army's claim and firmly rejected it. This rebuke came amid heightened tensions between the two countries following the deadly incident. Separately, Pakistan's army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, also rejected Indian military claims that Islamabad received real-time support from China during the May 2025 conflict between the neighbors, describing such insinuations as factually incorrect and a shoddy attempt to deflect from battlefield failures. Munir emphasized that the conflict was purely bilateral and dismissed allegations of external assistance.
