Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said that when Pakistan strikes, there would be no need for either side to announce it, as the entire world would come to know.
Addressing a press conference, he dismissed India’s claims of launching strikes on 15 sites as "baseless and fictional”, saying such drama belongs to the theatre, not the battlefield.

“Has the Indian army and government been living in the 18th century? When will they step out of the theatre and cinema and return to reality?” he asked.
Categorically rejecting the visuals shared by India as “proof” of supposed strikes, he said that at least they could have set fire to the dry fields they are showing. "These are just barren patches — nothing more,” he said.
He added that Pakistan’s armed forces remain alert and capable, and that any misadventure by India will be met with a forceful response.
“When Pakistan responds, it will be decisive — and the world will not have to rely on Indian media to know what happened,” he concluded.
