Early Wednesday morning, at around 2 a.m., Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Attaullah Tarar, held a sudden press conference.

He told reporters that Pakistan has received “credible intelligence-based information” warning of a possible Indian military attack in the next 24 to 36 hours.

Tarar said, "We have credible intelligence-based information that India is planning a military offensive against Pakistan within the next 24 to 36 hours. Any action by India will be responded to with full force."

The Minister warned that any attack from India would be met with full power. He added that Pakistan is fully prepared to protect its land and will not stay quiet if war is forced upon them.

"Pakistan will defend its territory at all costs and will respond with its full might. The nation will defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity by all means necessary. If India tries to impose a war on Pakistan, it will be solely responsible for the disastrous and devastating costs," Tarar said during the conference.

Tarar accused India of planning an attack without proof of Pakistan’s role in the recent terror incident in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. He said Pakistan had offered to help with a fair investigation, but India did not respond.

"It has been days since the Pahalgam incident, but India has not provided Pakistan with any evidence. However, we have credible evidence of India's involvement in cross-border terrorism in our country. The International community needs to take notice of New Delhi's planned and self-orchestrated reasoning to attack Pakistan," he said.

He also criticized India’s approach to such situations, saying: "India's habit of being the judge, jury and executioner is categorically and strongly rejected by Pakistan."

This emergency press conference came as both India and Pakistan have increased their military presence near the border. Political tension between the two countries is also growing rapidly.
