India and Pakistan are once again locked in a fiery war of words! Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif did not hold back on Sunday as he warned India sharply about any future military conflict. Just days after India's Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Army Chief Gen Upendra Dwivedi issued stern warnings to Pakistan, Asif fired back that India would be “buried under the wreckage of its warplanes" if war breaks out. Asif took to social media to slam what he called provocative statements from Indian leaders. He said these were just a “failed attempt” by India to fix its lost reputation after the recent clashes ended in what he called a “decisive defeat with a score of 0-6.” Although he didn’t explain the score, his message was loud and clear: if India tries again, Pakistan will deliver an even harsher blow. Gen Upendra Dwivedi had warned Pakistan to stop sponsoring terrorism or risk being wiped off the world map. He added that India would no longer show restraint like it did in Operation Sindoor 1.0 during any future fight. “This time we will take a step forward and act in a manner that will make Pakistan think whether it wants to remain on the world map or not,” he said. Adding fuel to the fire, Air Chief Marshal A P Singh revealed that Indian strikes damaged at least a dozen Pakistani jets, including US-origin F-16s, and destroyed radars, runways, and command centers during Operation Sindoor. He dismissed Pakistani claims about Indian losses as "fanciful stories." India’s Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also emphasized India’s readiness, boasting about successful strikes like the 2016 surgical strikes, 2019 Balakot airstrike, and recent Operation Sindoor that proved India can cross borders to protect its citizens and unity. Tensions remain high, especially with disputed regions like the Sir Creek area, where Singh warned any Pakistani misadventure there would lead to a “decisive response” strong enough to change "history and geography." Operation Sindoor itself was launched in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan-controlled areas. The May clashes lasted four turbulent days before both sides surprisingly agreed to stop military actions. The current fiery exchanges showcase how deep the mistrust and rivalry remain between the two nuclear neighbors. With bold threats flying and past scars still fresh, both nations seem ready to watch each other’s next move like a high-stakes game of chess – where one wrong step could ignite a blazing conflict.
