Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) of Pakistan, reiterated the country's firm stance on defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity. He warned that any misadventure or attempts to undermine Pakistan’s sovereignty or violate its territorial integrity will be met with a swift and resolute response. Munir emphasized that attacks targeting Pakistan's population centers, military bases, economic hubs, and ports would receive a severe and stronger-than-expected retaliation. He further stated that wars are not won through media rhetoric, imported sophisticated weaponry, or political slogans, but through firm conviction, professional competence, operational transparency, strong institutions, and national resolve. These remarks come amid ongoing war threats from India, with Pakistan maintaining its preparedness in response.
