Pakistan's Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and Chief of the Army Staff, Field Marshal Asim Munir, issued a strong warning against cross-border terrorism, declaring it would be crushed with the "full might of the state." He affirmed that the armed forces are fully aware of state-sponsored destabilization attempts by hostile intelligence agencies.

In a statement released by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Munir reiterated that Pakistan would not permit such proxy networks to undermine its internal security or economic prosperity. His remarks underscore the government's resolve to combat threats emanating from across its borders.
